The Milk Problem No One Talks About in the PH (Carabao Milk)

98% of the milk Filipinos drink every day comes from somewhere else. That number sounds wild — until you start asking why, and realize the answer is complicated, political, and honestly a little heartbreaking.

In this video, we dig into why the Philippines never built a real dairy industry, what happened to the carabao as a milk source, and why carabao milk — one of the richest, most flavorful milks in the world — remains a niche product in the very country where it comes from.
