PUERTO PRINCESA CITY – GREGORIO OQUENDO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Gregorio Oquendo Elementary School is nestled in Barangay Milagrosa at the center of Puerto Princesa City. Its Principal and teachers always make sure that “Gulayan sa Paaralan Program” of the Department of Education will be properly implemented despite the limited space in their school grounds. They maximize the use of their small area by practicing container gardening. The school aims to provide proper nutrition to their pupils through sustainable vegetable gardening.
In their container garden, varieties of vegetables in the recycled containers are planted like Bell pepper, Celery, Cauliflower, talinum, papaya, alugbati, Ginger, Sweet basil, Malaysian ampalaya, Spinach, Cassava, and Pandan tsina among others. The garden also has an established waterline connection from the Water District, water pump, and rain catcher. They also observe vermiculture and organic planting techniques.
Due to the active support and collaboration of teachers, pupils, and stakeholders, the school was able to win division and regional level contests in their province. They also secured funding from DENR EMB MIMAROPA from their National Ecosavers Program. To ensure that all teachers are fully-equipped in container gardening, continuous Learning and Coaching Sessions are held in partnership with various resource speakers.
This is how their simple Gulayan sa Paaralan touches the lives of our parents, pupils and the community. The love and concern for our environment that they were able to develop with their pupils is similar to the vegetable seedlings - small and fragile yet are full of hope for a greener and healthier tomorrow.
