1st Malagos Farm Fair is scheduled at the Malagos Garden Resort from August 7 to 8, 2010. This is the first Agri-Tourism event here in the city of Davao.

The Malagos Farm Fair was conceptualized as an occasion to sell the menagerie of farm animals the Puentespina Family grows. In Malagos Farm they are raising dairy goats, cows, sheep, cocks, horses, peacocks, pheasants, ostriches, fancy chickens, dogs, and ornamental birds.

Farm fairs like the one set to be held in Malagos next month, are regularly held in Europe and the United States but not in the Philippines. Puentespina said they are hoping to make the Malagos Farm Fair an annual event and make it another attraction for the city.

The event is perhaps the only opportunity for people to see as many as 300 pure-bred dairy goats in one setting. An additional attraction would be the cows and the ostriches which will also be on display and for sale.

The Malagos Farm is usually closed to the public the whole year through and this is the first time they are opening the farm gates to Dabawenyos and visitors from other areas.

The Puentespina family is a strict observer of sustainable farm management so there is actually zero waste in the farm as everything is reused, sold and recycled.

Grass from under the coconut and cacao are fed to the goats and cows with their waste going to the biogas digester or to the vermin composting to become fertilizer that goes back to the earth. Land use is thus maximized responsibly.

For a P250 entrance fee per day, inclusive of lunch of roast beef and sea bass from Alsons, guests to the Malagos Farm Fair will get the rare opportunity to get on board the hay ride for the farm tour.

The entrance fee is also inclusive of all the scheduled seminars and shows for the day such as the Cooking Demo by Purefoods, Farm Games by Coca Cola and Habagat, Techno Demo by DCTech and the evening concert by San Miguel Beer on the first day.

The seminars scheduled on August 7 include seminars on Cheese in the Philippines by Olive Puentespina, Creating Micro Habitats by Dr. Bo Puentespina and Renewable Energy Application in the Farm by Green Heat, BMEG-sponsored Seminar on Raising Organic Chickens and Pigs and Fresh Water Fish Farming.

Craft-Making sessions with Maej Villanueva happens at the Smart Place, and for an additional registration of P500, Dabawenyos will be treated to a wine and cheese appreciation by Swiss Deli featuring the Italian Wines and the best spread of the local cheeses from Malagos. Farm House “Cabrito” or roasted young goat will be its special menu, The Chocolate Shop Talk with Mars happens on Sunday, August 8, with a repeat of the agri-seminar topics of BMEG and Green Heat.

Tickets are available at Waling Flower Victoria Plaza, Tiny Kitchen, Bouna Terra and Betty’s Bakeshop.

For more information please call 0917-5481867 or 082-2216344.

Prices of dental braces is always a big factor for parents and those who are working to finance themselves to straighten their teeth.

Once you have decided that you or your child need dental braces. You then ask a friend or acquaintances what they paid and how much. You usually receive different answers. Some of them may have done their braces  a long timeago.

Braces are usually paid in installments. Nevertheless, it really would cost thousands of pesos and you have to pay it for a period of time from one year and a half  up to more than two years.
We also have to consider that each dentist has their own price schedule. The price is then determined based on your specific case based on the dentist’s fee schedule. Posting prices of braces on their website or even giving you the price over the phone would not make much sense because each case is different.

Things to consider and factors that influence the price of braces are:

• the severity and complexity of the orthodontic problem,
• length of treatment,
• type of braces,
• use of additional appliances such as retainers,
• whether or not oral surgery is needed,
• expertise of the orthodontist,
• location of the orthodontist.

The most important at this point is the expertise of the dentist, since the result of the treatment will be more desirable.

When in Davao City, all you need to do is visit:

Ortiz Dental Clinic

101 Maa RD. cor South St.

DBP Village, Matina

Davao City

Tel. # 273-4845

Cel. # 0921-8052837

We can give you the proper and reasonable price for dental braces for you or your kids. We encourage you to visit the clinic so that we can really give you the proper assessment on your case so that we can give you the proper treatment.

We care, because your smile matters!
