Glenda Loterina, a PWD vendor, adopted the trade name JWHO Mushroom, inspired by her son's favorite DOTA character. Her son, a third-year student at Bicol University, tragically fell into a coma for nine days due to an accident and did not survive. In honor of her son, Paul Julius, Glenda chose "JWHO," which stands for "Sino si Jay" (Who is Jay), connecting it to her son's name.  The choice of mushroom as her product stemmed from Glenda's diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, which restricted her diet from red meat and scaleless fish.

Following one such seminar, assistance came from the Albay Provincial Agriculture Office, enabling her to successfully grow and sell... More
