Hi Mark!

First, let me congratulate you for featuring the works of the CMBC, Iloilo City. Your article is indeed comprehensive. I have many questions about bamboo crafts production and all of it were answered by your article. I once visited the place sometime last year and like you I was so impressed by their works of art. I brought home with me few pieces to show to my officemates how lovely their crafts were.

By the way, I used to work with DTI-R10 but now involved as the executive director of Dire Husi Initiatives, Inc. The organization is a non-government group advocating to provide livelihood opportunities also to members of the informal sector specifically the OSYs.

Now, if it is not too much with you, may I ask for your help please for any contact numbers (cellphone number) that you may have from the CMBC so that I can directly get in touch with them? Please. Another thing, our group plans to visit CMBC within April, can we ask for any suggestion from you where to stay in a hotel / hostel that’s cheap?

Hoping to hear from you soonest brother! God bless.

JULIUS C. VERDADERO
Executive Director
Dire Husi Initiatives, Inc.

Hello, Mark! I told many sisters about you featuring our social project. Expect for more messages to come your way (even as far as Rome and Spain). See, you have an instant group of prayer warriors. GOD bless you!

Hi, Mark! What a joy to see our products featured in the Internet. It’s amazing! When Sr. Gina told us about this good news,I can’t help but scribble some lines to appreciate and thank you for promoting our mission and of course our bamboo products.
May God reward you for your kindness and generosity. Would it be possible to meet you. I will be in Iloilo next week. If yes, I will be very happy to introduce to you our center of life, a retreat and training center.
Thank you once again and hope to hear from your response.
