A KIMCHI FACTORY IN BENGUET

In April 2022, news broke that the province of Benguet was exploring the establishment of its first kimchi factory, an initiative aimed at processing wombok (Chinese cabbage) into kimchi, the famous traditional Korean dish.

Four years later, the plan has yet to be realized. Still, the need for it remains urgent. Benguet farmers continue to face the recurring problem of oversupply, often forcing them to dump or discard their produce at a loss.

Instead of letting wombok go to waste or be turned into fertilizer, this proposed facility could transform surplus harvests into a high-value, nutritious product. A kimchi factory would not only reduce waste but also open new economic opportunities for local farmers.

With the right support, Benguet can even bring in skilled Korean kimchi makers to train our kailyans, ensuring quality production that meets international standards. In time, this could position the province as a source of export-quality kimchi.

Mayor Benjamin Magalong has ordered the temporary suspension of the city’s number coding scheme from April 8 to April 24, 2026, to address transportation difficulties caused by rising fuel prices.

The directive, issued through Executive Order No. 45, Series of 2026, temporarily halts the implementation of Ordinance No. 001, Series of 2003, also known as the Baguio City Number Coding Scheme.

The mayor cited provisions in the ordinance that allow the suspension of the scheme during extraordinary circumstances such as natural calamities or public disturbance.

In the order, the mayor said the increase in fuel costs has forced many public utility drivers to reduce or stop operations. This has resulted in fewer available rides and has caused inconvenience to commuters traveling to work, school and other essential destinations.

The mayor said the suspension is an interim measure to help ease mobility for residents while the city studies its impact on traffic conditions.

The city government will monitor traffic flow and commuter conditions during the suspension period to determine whether the measure improves public transportation or worsens congestion.

Lifting the ordinance is seen to alleviate the public transport dilemma in such a way that it will provide additional available transportation from the private sector.

As such, private car owners are also encouraged to observe car pooling and other helpful practices that can help augment the transport needs, the mayor said. - Aileen P. Refuerzo
