Dr. Andy Mojica made planting coffee easier
I first met doctor Andy Mojica in 2001 when Father Roger Bag-ao, my first coffee mentor brought me to Cavite State University(CvSU) in Indang, Cavite. I was amazed that we even had a Coffee Research Center in those parts and that someone shared my love for Barako, the coffee variety most of us grew up drinking. Father Roger would soon take a sabbatical and Doc Andy would become my default mentor. Four years later we co-wrote a book aptly called Barako: The Big Bean. The book got a National Book Award and we often joke each other that we must soon write a sequel.
