Advocating Government Greening Program

A variety of fruit trees of different kinds and a bunches of vegetable tops and root crops were availed by our school, Cubay Elementary School as price as one of the winners in the BPI on-the-spot cooking contest held recently at the nursery compound of the government agency.

These fruit trees could serve as the planting materials for the school tree planting activity. These are only a portion of planting trees in implementing the National Greening Program of the PH government that all government employees and students shall plant ten (10) trees per year for six (6) years. The program started in 2011 and will end in 2016.

NGP main objectives are to consolidate and harmonize all greening efforts of the government agencies, schools, civil society and private sectors to implement sustainable management of natural resources through resource conservation, protection, and productivity enhancement and climate change mitigation by expanding forest cover.

Every Tree Planted, Life Is Saved

Every tree planted, grown and survived provides a great chance for every mankind to survive and even to live a bit longer.

This principle has prompted the Alternative Learning System (ALS) mobile teacher, Ms. Corazon Aloro to organize and lead the ALS participants who were composed of the learners with their respective instructional managers IMs). She facilitated the provision of the streamer and the rest of the planting materials needed for the tree planting activity by coordinating with the local Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

Every participant has to bring his or her own food provisions and reserved drinking water for a long walk going uphill to the area for tree planting. It weather at that time was very cooperative. It was a sunny day, though it rained heavily last night.

Education MANCOM: 'I Command Vision'

This is my statement I made in my opening remarks after I scrambled the phrase, "Division Mancom" while I was waiting for my turn to talk. "I command vision" prompted me to present it to my fellow school administrators. I referred it to the Lord's concern that He commanded us to look after His spirit children (the pupils) who are on our shoulders as  school heads or principals. We are the Lord's stewards for them. Therefore, He has given us to be visionary, to look ahead for the bright future of these children who are under our care and custody when they are inside our school. It is our utmost concern for their welfare and for their well-being as a good, law-abiding citizens of the community where they live in and be obedient to God's commandments.
