Baking New Beginnings: A Mountain Village’s First Bakery 

The Project

In the mountains of Fianza, San Nicolas, Pangasinan, a farming community faces the reality of isolation. Cut off from basic services, residents endure grueling two-hour treks across dangerous rivers to access work and essential needs. During typhoon season, rising waters make these journeys impossible,

Today, these farmers are writing a new chapter in their story. Through Pure Bayanihan’s partnership with the 104th Maneuver Company and local advocates, Mountains Bakery has emerged as their stepping stone to economic independence. Led by Roda Macayan, these resourceful farmers are creating opportunities within their own community, complementing their agricultural livelihood with entrepreneurship.

Watch as this resilient community transforms challenges into possibilities. While the rivers and distance remain, these farmers-turned-entrepreneurs are building something powerful – their own source of sustainable income. From mastering new skills to supporting each other, witness how one community refuses to let isolation define their future.

This is a story of farmers who dared to diversify their dreams. See how Mountains Bakery became more than just a bakery – it’s become a symbol of a community’s determination to thrive despite their challenges.
