John Glenn Libag, from barangay Tawang has wowed the judges for his Kiniing-inspired wine as he topped the Processing Category during the Young Farmers Challenge (YFC) Regional Start-Up Competition held last February 13, 2026 in Baguio City.

As the owner and founder of Bo-oy Food Products, Libag has turned the mixture of strawberries, cabbages, carrots, beetroot, lemon, and lemon grass into the Premier Kiniing-Inspired (Smoked) Highlander’s Wine - Lumawig Edition.

Libag, along with winners from the different categories, will receive a ₱150,000 cash prize to help boost their businesses.
