This is from Tita Nena and Hindy. I visited around August last year.
ISIP is a good source for organic items. They also have organic vegetables and are delivered on certain days of the week. You can order in advance. It is near Ateneo Law School and Rockwell. You won’t miss the blue building on your left, it is the funkiest in the street 🙂
It is a small store- this is it ……

Some small appliances they use: Food dehydrator- they make dried fruits ( as snacks ) with this
vita-mix hi-speed blender, moulinex steamer for fish, veggies, dumplings
yogurt maker using hormone-free/free-range milk
For extra extra precaution to avoid all sorts of metals in our system, they use Vision ( brown glassware). According to Hindy, it is not the easiest thing to fry with, better for stews or soups. For frying food, they use cast iron, or stainless.
Le Creuset cast iron cookware
Vision glass cookware
fruit and vegetable juice extractor, oxygenator to clean veggies, fish, poultry, meats

Website: Haribon Foundation
U Swim’s Save the Seas Campaign
About the Haribon Foundation: ( Taken from website)
The Haribon Foundation for the Conservation of Natural Resources is a membership organization dedicated to the conservation of Philippine biodiversity. It aims to build a constituency for environmental issues that will call for prioritizing conservation actions on habitats and sites, based on solid scientific and socio-economic research. We are the pioneer environmental organization in the Philippines.
The name “Haribon” was coined from the words “haring ibon,” referring to the Philippine Eagle. The Philippine Eagle is the icon that signifies the importance of protecting biodiversity in the Philippine territory. Its presence is a constant reminder to the Filipinos to be continuously involved in taking care of our environment.
Our niche
Biodiversity is the wealth of life forms found on earth: the millions of different plants, animals and micro-organisms, the genes they contain, and the intricate ecosystems that they form.
Simply put, biodiversity IS life. Haribon’s work in biodiversity conservation seeks to protect that life through four core strategies: Saving Sites, Saving Species, Working with People, and Advocacy.
Our beginnings
Haribon started out as a bird-watching society in 1972 and evolved into a nature and wildlife conservation society. In 1983, the society became a full-fledged conservation foundation. Today, it is recognized, both in the Philippines and abroad, as the pioneer in Philippine environmental conservation. Haribon joins birds and habitat conservation organizations worldwide in a global partnership called BirdLife International. Haribon is the Philippine partner.
Our vision
Haribon takes the lead in caring for nature with the people – for the people.
Our mission
Haribon is a membership organization committed to nature conservation through community empowerment and scientific excellence.
Our signature
The logo nine leaves on one tree symbolize the nine ecosystems found in the Philippines: forest, marginal, agricultural, urban, freshwater, mangrove, sea grass, coral and soft bottom.
The line “Protecting Nature, Preserving Life” establishes the character of the organization.

Congratulations to Ton Concepcion for a successful race! We need more people like Ton who can help make our world a better place. An idea or a desire to help is more meaningful when it becomes a reality and action is taken to implement and achieve that desire. It takes a lot of guts and a lot of hard work to organize an event, and you lead it and you made it all happen!
The race was successful because:
1.) You were able to raise funds to preserve our environment, to save Tubbataha reef
2.) The event created awareness of a beautiful place, nature, and in our very own country
3.) You created a wholesome atmosphere for kids to enjoy and at the same time learn and help save their environment in their small little way. Even pregnant women walked the race…It was a race that everyone who wanted to support the cause could join.
4.) Thousands of people supported and joined the race
5.) And everyone enjoyed!!!
Looking forward to the next race in 2009!
