Jan 21, 2012 – Kalinga finds ecology-friendly cooking stoves in termite mounds
RESEARCHERS in Kalinga have turned the termite mound into an efficient and environment-friendly stove, and that has encouraged people in the province to search for more mounds to make more stoves with.
“We are no longer afraid of termites,” one of the researchers said. He says they have turned the termites’ home into an efficient, soot-free and smokeless wood-fired stove where the combustion is almost perfect.
Termites are of course feared especially in the provinces, where most of the houses are made of wood that the insects just love.
“We are happy that our product is being received well by the market,” said Raquel Dulliyao, research coordinator of the Institute of Business Administration and Entrepreneurship of the Kalinga-Apayao State College in Tabuk City.
