BAMBOO FOR GREENHOUSE — Farmers transport the bamboo they bought from traders along Shilan, La Trinidad, Benguet, for them to use as frames for their greenhouses or alternative to wood in their construction needs. The Department of Industry-Cordillera said cultivation of bamboo is being strengthened in the region as a means to promote livelihood, reduce poverty, as well encourage its use as an environment-friendly alternative to hardwood. — Ofelia Empian
