Dong Yi – Gma7

Dong Yi – Gma7

 

This korea novela will be televised by GMA7 this November. The story is about Dong Yi, the daughter of a traitor/slave who entered the palace to avoid being caught/prosecuted. While in the palace, she tried to prove her father’s innocence. She is looking for a certain lady whom she believes  is working in the palace.  Being street smart made her rose to ranks from a musician assistant to a lady of the court and latter on a  concubine of the King.

Watching it is like watching Jewel of the Palace.  It is comparable to Jewel in the Palace and for sure this will be a hit Korean drama in the Philippines.

Wood products mean additional income to the farmer. In addition, a farmer doesn’t have to attend his trees all the time once they have grown up.

One tree that can be a good source of income for farmers and simultaneously help the environment is cashew (scientific name: Anacardium occidentale). The forestry department of the University of the Philippines at Los Baños (UPLB) puts it this way: “Planting cashew trees in idle lands may be the best solution to our land conservation problem. As an agricultural crop, cashew trees provide vegetative cover to barren lands and help minimize soil erosion. There is also money in cashew.
