Couple Edz and Joed Bullo, both from Iloilo, are farmers that are currently working in Australia. Joed is an agriculture graduate who majored in animal science at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College-Batad Campus. He became an agriculture professor after completing his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the same university.
“Our dream is to live and work as a dairy farmer in New Zealand but [Joed] doesn’t have any dairy farming experience in the Philippines. That’s why he applied to Saudi Arabia first to gain experience,” Edz shared. Edz had a rough start, especially since she had no prior experience in dairy farming and was doing it for the first time in an unfamiliar setting.
Despite having no initial background in dairy farming, Edz successfully learned the job and now works with her husband to provide for their family.
