This site addresses: THE NEW PARADIGM, It's not agriculture.
Hilltop Moringa Farms
We teach what we Practice
CONCEPT
CUBEPONICS
Cubeponics is the most efficient carbon sequestration system increasing by orders of magnitude biometrics/mensuration, commercial value, and gross domestic product from neglected secondary forests. This living biodiversity system eradicates local agrarian poverty, sustains indefinitely, and spontaneously achieves by orders of magnitude. This we teach from what we do.
We want people who are passionate about using natural and inexpensive means to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
At HMF we are making practical applications of cumulative knowledge.
We are not original thinkers, but we are innovative about using existing knowledge.
Our prototype is being developed. Although it is small, we need team members who may add knowledge, know-how, or support.
There is nothing fancy here. Our methods are plain and simple.
We do use innovation. You are welcome to learn more, free.

Our Story
The Protégé
After reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and others Ms. Melojel C. Formentera approached her boss and asked if he could teach her the Western way of thinking. She wanted to combine the best of both Eastern and Western thinking processes in order to improve the local plight of poverty while mitigating climate change. The Mentor found sincerity and commitment to fulfill the goals so he said "Let's build a demo farm and show the farmers how to make money and we also will reforest the Philippines". She said "yes" and chose to become the "Farmers' Helper". In her first three years she achieved the implementation of what is illustrated throughout this site. The years ahead guarantee to dwarf the initial years.
Mentor / Coach
More than 20 years of consulting the "haves" disclosed to Joseph J. Reynolds that the "have-nots" are more responsive which inspired him to mentor/coach the "have-nots". He looked high and low, even when teaching agroforestry at the college level, to find a protégé who could carry on his work but it was not until Ms. Formentera, a housekeeper and the daughter of a fisherman with a family of 10 that she approached him and asked if she could learn how to think differently and understand agroforestry principles and practices that he found his protégé in her.
Foreman, Infrastructure
Dante Pugal's Illocano family migrated to the valley in the 1950s before roads existed, only trails. He learned the trades while working for seven years in Saudi Arabia. His 63 years of living carry him as a community leader and a knowledgeable foreman for Farmers' Helper at Hilltop. He can outwork those youngsters 30 years his junior. The Illocano people are honest, industrious, and hard-working. Hilltop Malunggay is lucky to have Dante on board.
Operations Manager
Shirle Pugal is Dante's wife and shares the Illocano values. For more than 30 years she has worked for the Department of Health and is the Clinical Supervisor. Trained and experienced in sanitation and hygenic practices in May 2015 Shirle is assuming the duties of Operations Manager to assure the safe harvesting, cleaning, drying and processing of Moringa oleifera leaves and parts.
Equipment
Antonio Gonzales lives just down the hill from Hilltop where his family took up residence back in the 1950s. He has formal technical training but is a natural when it comes to machinery, equipment, and innovative thinking. Not only can he make everything work he also operates it all and makes farming seem so easy. From irrigation to planting and growing he moves the earth and makes all necessary adjustments to bring about planting and growing successes.
Consultants
Ma. Verna Gonzales is a graduate of the University of the Philippines with a Bachelor of Science in Food Technology and from the Open University campus in Los Banos, Laguna she attained a diploma in Research and Development Management. With more than 8 years of research and development experience while conducting relevant food product development she provides technical consulting to Hilltop Moringa Farms in the area of product research and development. and management.
The Philippines has an excellent Department of Technology and Industry that provides free product development technical assistance.
PASSIONATE PEOPLE:
This work has been ongoing for the past twenty-plus years.
Unwittingly, it began with the author's first experience with tropical forests, which was in Panama when only eight years old. Eleven years after, he was mining diamonds and gold in Guyana, where the forest remains fantastic.
Meanwhile, in 1986, he arrived in the Philippines. Much to his dismay, the forest he had longed to visit no longer existed.
Since then, he adhered to the steps of traditional reforestation but to no satisfactory end, and out of frustration, he began to swim against the tide. He and his adopted family have been using the new paradigm, without government funding, so to reforest effectively, inexpensively, and sustainably.
Low and behold, Elon Musk and his fantastic XPrize Carbon Removal contest arrive with perfect timing. Please, join us in helping to benefit Mankind by benefiting Mother Nature.

My work has always been on my shoulders. Now that I am retired my shoulders are not as broad as before and the time constraints are tighter.
