Fortunately, a ray of hope comes out of the Panay Fair Trade Centre in Iloilo, which is a little south, not far, of where my dad is from. The centre produces organic Mascobado sugar (raw cane sugar) on approximately 60 hectares for the European fair trade market.
I don't have a digital picture of Iloilo, but I do have this picture of me in a tricycle at the other end of the island, on Boracay. Considering that 10 minutes riding on a tricycle costs about a quarter, I don't think they're fair trade either.
