While in the past, farmers would be generally intolerant of rigid government-sponsored-technology, observers noted that this time, they appeared cooperative to quality-boosting NTA technology including stopping the use of incompatible fertilizer and pesticides.

                    [Summary] => CANDON CITY, Ilocos Sur — After the biggest strawberry cake in Benguet, now comes the biggest calamay (glutinous rice cake) in this city.


"No, we are not waging a battle for the biggest cake," Candon Mayor Grace Singson said. "We are only promoting our city’s pride from among our food products."


The biggest calamay was a delightful feature in the city’s fiesta celebration the other day. No less than Vice President Teofisto Guingona presided over the slicing and distribution of the rice cake to the public.

Candon police chief Supt. Cornelio Barrios identified the suspects as Rudy Velasco of Lacay, Pangasinan and Eduardo Gambino of Binalonan, Pangasinan.
