Aired (November 4, 2023): Mula sa paninirahan sa Maynila, nagdesisyon si Queenmelo na manirahan sa isla ng Siargao kaya naman naging malapit sa puso niya ang isla. Kaya naman nang manalasa ang Bagyong Odette noong taong 2021, sinimulan ni Queenmelo ang community farm para matugunan ang gutom sa isla.

00:24 - Siargao has always had this magic
00:40 to attract people from all parts of the globe, even then.
00:44 So tell me about this magic.
00:46 I mean, what makes it special?
00:48 (speaking in foreign language)
00:52 - So it's you and your relationship with nature.
00:59 And they carry that when they're on the ground.
01:02 - So where were you during Typhoon Odette?
01:05 - I was here.
01:06 I was in the island.
01:07 I wanted to leave the island,
01:09 but for some reason I decided to stay.
01:12 Looking back now, I'm glad that I stayed
01:14 because I am now even more grounded to the island.

03:36 - The island needs more sustainable initiatives, I think.
03:45 (speaking in foreign language)
03:49 They're far from the tourism area,
03:52 so employment is (speaking in foreign language)
04:00 So it's good that they're farming now
04:04 because it can really help them
04:07 not just address food shortage for their homes,
04:11 but eventually become entrepreneurs
04:14 and earn from their farm.

04:23 (speaking in foreign language)
04:27 - First of all, national concern.
