I had the chance to visit tomato land in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte last week. We were toured around the processing plant and I was specifically in awe after seeing a truckload of tomatoes being unloaded into a water canal leading into a huge pool of tomatoes. I never seen a pool so huge and err, so red. Will post a series on this next time.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the Lenten Season!

@Sidney and Kyelsyep! red tomatoes that are processed into paste fresh from the farmers' yard.
Amazing, you could make megagallons of spaghetti saus using those.
I never realized the far east was such a tomato place, but then why not?
i remember planting tomatoes in when i was in elementary. exciting to see how they turn orange from day to day.
you should post more ilocos photos.
