Former Lae MP and well-known banana farmer Bart
Philemon was pleasantly surprised when he attended a family gathering between
Yanga and Wagang villages on Saturday, Nov 16.
His nephew, Ahi Nako (left), showed him a big bunch
of bananas, offspring from Philemon’s farm at Malahang outside Lae.
Philemon supplied bananas to supermarkets, resource
projects and institutions around the country, and even exported to Australia
and New Zealand, before entering politics in 1992 and was a four-time Lae MP
until 2012.
Philemon is now on the board of several major
companies in life after politics.-Words
