This is a process that turns chicken by-products into useful and consumable end-products such as animal feeds.

Farmrichfoods’ collaboration with Meralco Biz Partners powered their expansion through the Peak / Off-Peak (POP) solution, which generated monthly savings of P35,000.

Delicate garments are beautiful to wear but aren’t always the easiest to maintain. They aren’t made with thicker fabrics that allow them to be tossed in a washer or folded to be stored in the closet. Fine knits, lace, chiffon, and velvet need special care when cleaning and storing. Here are five easy tips for taking care of such fabrics:
1. Wash delicate garments the right way. Start sorting the delicates by type because washing delicates of different fabrics may snag in the wash and lose their shape. Zippers and other enclosures that aren’t securely fastened can also damage clothes, especially fine ones like silk. Users can choose to wash their delicates in a mesh bag and under the “Delicate” or “Gentle” wash setting with the lowest spin cycle and turn them inside out to protect their color.
