                    [Summary] => SILANG, Cavite – Soon, many parts of the country will be awash with canton noodles fortified with squash. And saluyot, too.


Over the past year, several micro, small, and medium-scale enterprises (MSME) in strategic places in the country have gone into squash and saluyot canton noodles making, thanks to technological intervention by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through its Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI).

                    [Summary] => LIPA CITY – In Sugarlandia, sugarcane flower stalks are wastes.
