Danny Manayaga, president of Secura International is setting up four biodiesel plants next year and is looking for qualified Project Managers with experience in a greenfield setting up of oil extraction facility. Candidates must be able to handle foreign and local contractors and vendors. Applicants with related experience are encouraged to apply!
Danny is a pioneer in the local biotech industry, from papaya enzyme to rabies vaccine to biodiesel from coconut. Late last year during a meet-up, he discussed about the promising source of biodiesel from malunggay which we commonly use as part ingredient for chicken tinola. But instead of the leaves, the seed will be the source of energy. We don’t eat the seeds anyway.
This is an alternative for farmers aside from the known applications of the moringa tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moringa_oleifera, the biodiesel application is an obvious solution to the rising fuel cost. With a minimum of 1 hectare the farmers can earn P200,00.00 (net). Secura International will be buying these seeds and process it. This is Philippines answer to jathropa initially popularized in India.

Secura is also accepting applicants for contract growers and investors for manufacturing biodiesel using ‘malunggay’ seeds. send your intent to secura[at]pacific[dot]net[dot]ph
i am interested in investing to the project
Sir:
We are very much interested to be part of your project. We own a 1,000 hectare land in the Province of Capiz (Roxas City). This land is unproductive and mountainous but is accessible and with roads. We lack the financial capacity to develop the land. We are offering this land for sale, lease, joint venture, or contract growing. Our only purpose is to make the land productive to earn income. I would appreciate your reply.
Danny, I think I can help you get operational

Dear Mr. Manayaga,
I just read Ms. Manalac’s article about biodiesel production from Malunggay seeds today, althogh it was published in June issue og Biolife. I got interested in this project. My husband’s family has a farm in the upland areas in Calamba-Tanauan which were previously planted to sugarcane. When the Canlubang sugarmill closed years ago, the most of land in the area are idle. Some families still plant sugarcane but the net income is low due to high hauling cost from Calamba to Nasugbu. I just want to make sure there will be market for the seeds if ever we will go into malungagay seed production. The nearness of Calamba to Manila for delivery of seeds make a good promise for the business. MOr eless 20 hectares will be available in the area.
Hope to hear from you soon
Thank you

Mr. Manayaga,
Here is a response to your requirement for Project Engineers. I am a mechanical engineer licensed to practice in the Philiipines. Prior to my immigration to the U.S. I worked with Mahogany Poducts (Phil) Inc as a consultant to Mr. Mears our Technical Director. He used to work for Nasipit Lumber. I moved on to work as a Buyer for San Miguel Corp. I was the only Engineer Buyer for General Services Division of SMC.
I am now retired; worked as Senior Facilities Engineer for McDonnell Douglas Corp, now Boeing, and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Landfill Administrator, and U.S. Navy Fuels Dept. As you see I have interational/Technical expertise. It would be an honor working in your team as a Project Manager.
This is the quickest way I can get hold of you.
Respectfully Yours,
Salvador Cabanayan
Dear Mr. Manayaga,
Greetings!
I’m very much interested to do business with you as possible contract grower of malunggay. Please enlighten me on the requirements and terms of the contract.
I recently started planting malunggay cuttings in Baras, Rizal and will soon start also in a 50 ha land in Ternate, Cavite being requested by our association from the DENR. A 1,000 ha mountain land in Mindoro will also be utilized when funds become available. I have also advised my realtives to consider the cultivation of malunggay once the targeted 6,000 has ancestral land will be granted to our tribe, “Isinay”, in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya.
We would be very glad to hear from you soon.
Best regards,

Dear Engr. Mañaga,
I would like to get involved in this Nth-Time Survival…Malungay Production Program. Like the others above, we have more or less 10 hectares of lands in Catanduanes that may be planted with malunggay. If you will allow us to be your contract grower, certainly, this will generate income not only for my family but also among the relatives and farmers around us.
I am a founding cooperator and general manager of a CDA-registered cooperative in Commonwealth, Quezon City. I would like to organize barangays in Catanduanes to plant malunggay, processed its leaves into nutitional foofstuff and its fruits for your biodiesel. I used to be a University Professor and Director of the Reasearch and Community Extension Service of a Computer University. I’d been longing to go back to basics, after all I am a UPLB graduate.
Greetings!
I am very much interested on being part of the malunggay business in any way, I am from Region 1. What are the possible vertures that i can go through? Your advise are highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Mabuhay po kayo!
Sana nga po ay totoo ang nais nyong makatulong sa kapwa. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanim ng malunggay. Maganda nga po kung ang ginagawang bakod na puno ng malunggay ay nagagawang tableta at maaaring sagot sa malnutrisyon gaya ng nabasa ko pong pagkumpara sa vitamins ng orange, gatas atbp. pati narin po sa paggawa ng krudo. Sana nga po magkatulungan po tayo sa proyekto nyo na iyan para naman po may alternatibo ang mga kapatid namin sa bundok at kabayananan. Sa ilang taon na pagtulong ng aking mga kaanak sa pamamagitan ng tulong na medical taon-taon sana nga po ay may mabago naman po sa katayuan ng mga tao. Sabi nga ng aking ama paghingi pa niya ng bunga ng malunggay ,bigyan mo na ng itatanim para siya naman ang mapagpatikim. Sana nga po mayron talagang bibili ng mga buto at dahon. Para mabawasan naman po ng mag-uuling at illegal logger sa bayan namin ng Botolan. Twing nakakabasa ko tungkol sa moringa nakakalungkot, nakikita ko pong nakalista ang bayan namin ng Botolan. pero wala naman po kaming nababalitaan. Sino po ba ang dapat puntahan o kausapin , pwede naman po tayo magtulungan basta po idiretso nyo ang proyekto sa tao na nais talagang tulungan din kayo sa maganda nyong hangarin.
Im A student from Mindanao State University- Gensan, And im Currently developing Feasibility Studies about the contract growership of Malungay and as a need of my study can i ask something? here are my questions:
as needed in my Market Study: how much is the demand for SICURA or how much is the number (in kilos) of Malungay seeds can SiCURA accomodate?
- How much is the supply or how much does it currently buy from its suppliers (in kilos also. can you please give the value every year since 2004 or since the year Sicura existed?..
Thats all..Thank you very much sir..if ever that my study is finished i would really forward it to you..nitsuga1217@yahoo.com is my e-ad.
I think I will attend the seminar in EMR center, koronadal city this may 27..
More power and Godbless.

Sir:
Like other interested party, we are also willing to enter
into contract growing of kamalunggay. we have planted already for few hills even in the road side but we wanted to develop a larger scale at any area you allow us to grow and supply as stipulated in the contract. May i know the requirements on how we can possibly enter into business transaction of contract growing and supply to you and even if we further expand to local processing for simple reasons.

Sir:
Good day!
Am interested also to be one of the Project Managers that your looking for. Much as we wouldlike to plant Moringa in a large scale and process it locally we need to have a Project Manager that can understand our people. We can manage it by ourselves with less intervention. Hope we can discuss kthe terms and conditions regarding the possible contract growing and the local processing. I need not to tell you my background and experiences, but it is enough that we can stand by ourselves and managed the project. thank you.
I am keen on the biodiesel plant project as well as position of Project manager. I have been quoted for a backyard plant from India utilizing Jatropha as raw materials but they have not define the plant engineering and they wanted to construct and commissioned the plant. I am engaged in oil and gas industry which boosted me to get interested with the projects. i want to construct my own backyard plant and do the operation but the company rejected my proposal. another thing is i am not sure about the supply of the raw materials. since Malunggay is very familiar in my locality and i can convince farmers to use their vacant lots for Malunggay plantation, i wanted to know more details of the project. please send me more details re this program. thanks you and hope to hearing from you.
I am interested to be your partner in malunggay project. We have a hectare inherited lands in Lagta, Baleno, Masbate. We want to venture in malunggay not only for profit but to introduce a new source of income to the community which at present rely on coconut. Please contact me at telepone number 8082184
I’m also interested in your malunggay project. I know a lot of people in my home province of Zambales who are willing to plant malunggay but doesnt know where to sell them. Please help me educate them on the proper way of planting and harvesting malunggay. These are my contact numbers: 09178878337/ 7194786. Hope to hear from you soon, more power and God bless.
Hello Sir,
I would be most interested to learn of the proposed terms and conditions that you would offer for the supply of moringa seeds and to what location you would want the seeds to be delivered. We currently have 300 has planted with more planned each year.

Hi Ben, if you can provide your contact info i will forward it to Mr. Manayaga

Good day Mr. Manyaga,
May I know where can I buy moringa oil here in Manila? I’ve been looking for moringa oil but to no avail. I’m currently on the process of making our own skin care. I would appreciate it if you could help me find a reputable supplier. Thanks in advance.
