Europe-based Filipino entrepreneurs, Maria Elizabeth ‘Olga’ Briton Famorcan and Chona Abiertas Tenorio, are launching a special wine named after their idol, President Rodrigo Duterte, this month.
The partners said Cat Wines and Cava, one of the top and biggest winery in Spain, projected that 10,000 bottles of “DU30” would be sold before its launching in Barcelona, Spain on August 26.
They believe that more have to be done to make sure that the 16 million votes that gave Duterte an overwhelming victory would make a difference in improving the lives of more than 100 million Filipinos.
“Because of this, we decided to come up with an idea of ‘Duterte or DU30 Wines’ in his honor, in which part of the benefits will be donated to the livelihood or rehabilitation programs of the President,” Famorcan said in an overseas phone interview with the Philippine News Agency (PNA).
Famorcan said a separate launch of the DU30 Wines would be held in Manila later this year to give Duterte a chance to personally introduce launch the DU30 wine in the Philippine market.
Famorcan said about 0.20 euros or P12 of every DU30 wine sold would be donated to the livelihood or rehabilitation programs of Duterte.
“We know that many of our kababayan (countrymen) are still without job. I hope in our own little way, we can make a difference in helping our country with this kind of project,” said Famorcan, a native of Barangay Calima in Pola, Oriental Mindoro.

“A bottle of good wine, like a good act, shines ever in the retrospect. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. This conviction inspired us to do something different to support PRRD and his livelihood program,” said Famorcan.
“So here comes the DU30 Wines and Cava, the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages made from a delicate and highly valued grape variety.”
Produced and perfected with a guarantee of origin from D.O. Penedes, Spain, the planned DU30 Wines would come from the best quality Cava and Red Wines, which can be bought at affordable prices.
