"I learned about lactobacilli microorganisms during a  bio-composting scholarship in Suweon, South Korea, which was sponsored by the Food and Fertilizer Technology Center. In South Korea, these microorganisms are used to convert  agricultural farm waste into organic fertilizer," he said.


When he returned home, Sianghio linked up with friends to  put up Lacto Asia-Pacific Corp. The company  produces  a composting medium from organic wastes under the brand name, Happy Soil.
