Profiles on Oasnon Industries: Puto Making ONE LOOK AT THIS WOODEN HOUSE IN TALONGOG and it’s not difficult to imagine that it had seen better days. The fading signage on the entrance to the fenced property is not of ownership but rather an announcement: “Gie’s Puto de Oas”. But behind this unassuming exterior, one’s attention is drawn by the hubbub of entrepreneurial activity and to a product which Oasnons share close affinity: the rice puto. It is incongruous because on entering, the visitor is greeted with frenetic activity – men and women in various bent positions, preparing the puto in different stages of manufacture. There could be no better disguise for an icon than the puto that is made within this compound. Beginnings The Oas puto industry traces its humble beginnings in 1903 when Sabino Reonal of Talongog, Benito Reonal’s (Gie’s husband) lolo developed the recipe for what was the forerunner of the puto as we know it today. Placed inside a kararaw (bamboo basket), he peddled the puto at the mercado and sold them wrapped in a piece of paper.

OAS MICRO FINANCE -OAS POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM
Mid-Year Report
July 20, 2009 Background Oas Micro Finance - Oas Poverty Alleviation Program has steadily taken roots since its inception in November 2008. It has transgressed borders and kept the linkages active to realize a cooperative undertaking of Oasnons at home and abroad in helping Oas in whatever possible way they can. It has created a platform of protocols to be adhered to and from which initial operations were launched. This includes: Rationale (vision, mission, objectives) Organization and Management (core groups: officers and members, delineation of duties and responsibilities) Mechanics (rules and regulations) Financial and Strategic Partners, Strategies (Marketing and Financial) and Projects under the lending and ancillary programs. A medium for effective interaction within the Core Groups and the stakeholders at-large has also been established. By now, there is a pattern shift created among Oasnons unlike before when they barely communicate with each other regarding concerns back home; www.oasnon.org is a communication highway that bridges Oasnons anywhere.

Ontario, Canada:The projects of the Oas Poverty Alleviation Program/Oas Micro Finance (OPAP/OMF) are starting with a whimper. This is not in any measure a characterization of this program but rather the most practical way to jump-start the projects under the looming global economic crisis. The abbreviated two projects have been defined in the two Resolutions approved by the Core Group. |
