How to Prune Tomato Plants: Simple Steps for a Healthier Harvest
Pruning your tomato plants is essential for promoting healthy growth and maximizing your harvest. By regularly removing suckers, dead leaves, and branches, you'll help your plant focus its energy on producing fruit. Here's how to prune your tomato plant for optimal results.
Locate the Suckers: Look for small shoots that grow in the "V" between the main stem and branches.
Remove Small Suckers: Use your fingers to pinch off suckers that are less than 5 cm long.
Cut Larger Suckers: For bigger suckers, use disinfected pruning shears to avoid spreading diseases.
Stake or Remove Lower Branches: Remove or stake branches that touch the soil to prevent disease.
Remove Low Leaves: Take off leaves near the soil to prevent fungal spores from spreading.
Periodic Pruning: Prune every 2 weeks starting from when the first flowers open (around June or July).
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
Don’t prune wet plants: Wait until they dry.
Avoid removing too many leaves: Don’t take more than one-third of the foliage.
Use clean tools: Always disinfect your shears with isopropyl alcohol before pruning each plant.
Don’t let suckers grow too big: Prune them early to prevent energy loss in the plant.
Pruning is key to growing stronger, more productive tomato plants. Ready to boost your tomato harvest? Share your tips and experiences! π π± #TomatoPruning #GardeningTips #HomeGrown #VegetableGarden #PlantCare

Lesson learned.
NAAWA AKO SA AKING CLASSMATE DATIπ₯(LESSON TO LEARN TALAGA, HINDI LAHAT MAAYOS MANAMIT, RICH)
I met an old class mate, we had not seen each other for about 30 years‼️‼️
When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, he was looking simple. He wore simple clothes. I felt touched‼️‼️
He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it.
We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.
I told him I would drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.
I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, to show off my success and affluence to him; while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him‼️
He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact, I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real Estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans. He looked at me and smiled.
He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had.“Fingers are not all equal" I thought to myself. I was lucky. I worked in a good place.
Two weeks later, my wife and I went to see him in a remote area. Initially, my wife was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house‼️
I was able to convince her that we were close friends in College.
We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.
It was a simple but lovely home. A 4-bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.
Lunch was well served.
His wife called him Papa Onos.
During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the Estate.
I did not know when I called him sir. I was in awe of him too.
I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.
Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life.
Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence.
Adjust your perception towards others this year.
Read, learn and take a good step of change.
Stop rating people based on their physical appearance or level of education.
Concentrate more on how to better your life, than on how to impress people.
Have a lovely day ahead.
Lesson learned..‼️‼️‼️

Battle
It has been nearly three months since you last saw me, and I wanted to share an update on my journey. For almost two years, I experienced persistent inflammation in my left eye, which led me to undergo a vitrectomy with phacoemulsification and a biopsy in Asian Hospital and Medical Center. Unfortunately, despite this procedure and a repeat biopsy performed at St. Luke’s BGC in March 2024, the results remained inconclusive. This prompted us to seek a second opinion in Singapore, where I was diagnosed with vitreoretinal lymphoma in June 2024.
We began treatment at MaDocs, but before my fifth chemotherapy cycle, I experienced a sudden seizure. An MRI revealed a mass in my frontal lobe, and a stereotactic biopsy confirmed it was lymphoma. This prompted an adjustment to my treatment plan. I am now undergoing a seven-cycle chemotherapy regimen at MMC, under the care of my co-interns Dr. Edusma-Dy, Dr. Ferrer, and Dr. Capellan, as well as my dear friend and classmate, Dr. Alemany. Thankfully, the treatment appears to be effective—the mass has shrunk significantly. The next step involves an intrathecal methotrexate injection, and I remain hopeful that we are moving in the right direction.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has helped make this difficult time more bearable for me and my family. First and foremost, to my wife, Peachy, who has been an unwavering pillar of strength throughout this ordeal—she never gave up and remained strong for us. To my children, Keisha, Yman, and Gaby, who have amazed me with their resilience and achievements despite their young age. I also want to thank my mom, who has never left my side.
I am grateful to my MDH family, especially Dr. Nica Yanga, for generously providing me with a hospital bed, and to the alumni and consultant staff for their prayers and financial support. A special shoutout to my batchmate Dada—you know what you’ve done, and I can’t thank you enough. To my MCI family—Dr. Carpiso, Dr. Ramirez, Dr. Nocon, Dr. Umali, and Dr. Navarrete—thank you for your unwavering support. I also want to express my appreciation to the PSO-HNS for their financial assistance and encouragement during this challenging time.
Finally, to all my friends and family who continue to keep me in their thoughts and prayers, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
While I am still on the path to recovery, I am slowly getting better and I look forward to personally thanking each and every one of you in time. Please continue to pray for my full recovery.
God bless us all.

WHY BUILDING DREAM HOUSES BACK HOME IS A MISTAKE
For many Filipinos living abroad, especially in North America, there’s a common dream: to build a big, beautiful house back home. It’s a symbol of success, a way to show family and friends in the Philippines that all the years of sacrifice have paid off. But more often than not, this dream benefits others more than the person who worked so hard to make it happen.
Take Victoria, a caregiver in Toronto. She left the Philippines in her 30s to work abroad, dreaming of building a big house for her family in her homeprovince of Ilocos Sur. Over the years, Victoria sent most of her earnings back home to construct a two-story, six-bedroom house with a balcony overlooking the fields. The house was her pride and joy, something she imagined retiring to someday.
But Victoria never got to live in that house. Her siblings moved in to "look after it," enjoying its cool breeze, spacious rooms, and fresh paint. Victoria, meanwhile, stayed in a cramped apartment in Toronto, working long hours to pay bills and send more money home for repairs and maintenance.
She visited every few years, but only for short vacations. By the time Victoria was ready to retire, almost 20 years had passed. The house was no longer as grand as she imagined. The paint had faded, the furniture was worn, and cracks had started to show in the walls. Worse, Victoria, now in her 60s, was diagnosed with colon cancer. She passed away before she could even book her flight back to Philippines.
It’s not just Victoria’s story. Many Filipinos abroad sacrifice their present for a future that may never come. Take Juan, another Ilocano working as a warehouse supervisor in Vancouver. He spent 12 years building a nine-bedroom house in Ilocos Sur. He planned to retire there, but in the meantime, his cousins lived in the house. They held parties, enjoyed the comforts, and even rented out some rooms to neighbors.
Juan worked tirelessly, ignoring his health, and delayed medical check-ups. By the time he was diagnosed with lung cancer, it was too late. He passed away at 55, never setting foot in the house he worked so hard to build. His wife and children, who had no plans of returning to the Philippines, sold the property.
So why do we do this? For many Filipinos, building a house back home is tied to pride and societal expectations. It’s about showing the neighbors and relatives that “I made it.” But at what cost?
When you finally return home in your old age, what will you do with a massive house? At 65 or 70, you’ll likely want something simple and easy to manage. Maintaining a mansion—cleaning the rooms, repairing the roof, or paying for electricity—can become a burden, not a joy.
Compare this to retirees in North America. When they grow older, they downsize to smaller homes or retirement communities where life is simpler. Yet many Filipinos choose the opposite: they live modestly abroad and pour all their resources into a house they’ll barely use.
The lesson here is simple. Life is short and unpredictable. Plan for the future, but don’t forget to live today. Instead of building a mansion that others will enjoy, why not invest in experiences, health, or financial security that you and your family can benefit from right now?
As the saying goes, "A good home isn't about being big; it's about being happy with the people living in it."
So, while dreaming of Philippines, don’t forget to make the most of your life wherever you are. Live wisely, live fully, and don’t let your dreams become someone else’s reality.
