National animal of the Philippines is Carabao in tagalog is Kalabaw. The photo below is at the Villa Escudero Resort in Tiaong, Quezon. I saw this animal while waiting the service going inside the Resort. We all know that the carabao is very popular animals in he Philippines, and this animals have a big benefit to all the farmers. The farmers often use the “Paragos”, a wooden apparatus, to flatten the land for farming. By standing on it, the pressure is enough to flatten the land in a sufficient way. Some farms have already machinery. This is especially in low lying regions. Using tractors is more efficient, because it is a much faster way of working. However, not so many farmers will financially be able to invest in machinery. Most farmers are too poor for mechanization. At times, they rent the tractors of those who have it.
Aside from that the carabao milk gives a good nutrition and carabao milk is not only drank by Pinoys but also a popular breakfast treat to most. Mixed with steamed rice and paired with tuyo (dried fish), this early morning treat reminds most Filipinos of their childhood. carabao milk can also be made into cheese (kesong puti), pastillas de leche, cakes and different kinds of pastries. These products will not only satisfy your sweet tooth but they can also give the nutritional benefits that only this kind of milk can offer. There is also a proposal by the milk manufacturers to offer carabao milk to children suffering with malnutrition. Complete with protein, fat, lactose, vitamins and minerals, carabao milk is beneficial to the health and welfare of children. Carabao milk is richer, creamier and a good source of energy. Make sure to give a try and enjoy the tasty treats that it only this kind of milk has.
