LECTURE/DEMO ON PROCESSING OF MORINGA LEAVES CUM ENHANCEMENT OF HERBAL  MEDICINAL GARDEN/TREE PLANTING
BY: FLORDELINA B. UTLEG
APRIL 21, 2017
In order to sustain the tree planting and medicinal garden that the proponent had conducted in the barangay, a seminar on food processing using moringa leaves as main ingredient and enhancement of the herbal medicinal garden was conducted. As a continuation of the program, the proponent shared their knowledge on how to make refreshing shakes/tea and other food products using the moringa leaves as main ingredient. Along with the lecture demo on food processing of moringa leaves, an enhancement of the herbal garden was also conducted. There are a number of advantages that one may gain from the creation of an herb garden and growing of moringa leaves which is also considered as herbal plant. An herb garden can be a very attractive addition to the barangay, and if constructed properly, it can actually benefit the community of its medicinal benefits. By investing a small amount of money, time, energy, and space, they can save a tremendous amount of money over the long term by growing their own herbs. While other people continue to use synthetic medications which were produced in a laboratory, they can use natural herbs which come from nature itself.
On August 20, 2016, CTE and VJSSGS faculty and students of Northwestern University gathered at 7:30 in the morning for the community extension program in Brgy. Caribquib, Banna, Ilocos Norte and they left the university campus at exactly 8:00 o’clock headed by the CTE/VJSSGS community extension coordinator, Ms. Flordelina B. Utleg.
NWU team was welcomed by the barangay officials headed by the Brgy. Chairman Lorna Bueno and right after, the activities started. The enhancement of the medicinal garden and demonstration on processing of malunggay leaves were done simultaneously. The enhancement of the medicinal garden was headed by Dr. Shirley Mina and Dr. Esmeralda Albano Baldonado, both professors of the CTE and VJSSGS along with the Non-Academic Staff headed by Ms. Amerly Dumlao, Extension Coordinator of the Non-Academic Unit. The demonstration on processing of malunggay leaves was headed by the extension coordinator of CTE/VJSSGS.
Before the landscaping of the medicinal garden, Mr. Michael Calaramo, the manager of the Eco-Tourism and Botanical Garden of NWU oriented the faculty, staff, and students on how to plant the herbal medicinal plants. The faculty and students of CTE/VJSSGS together with the non-academic staff cooperatively planted the different herbal medicinal plants such as oregano, tanglad, herba maria, mayana, kutsay, dangla, aloe vera, pancit pancitan, basil, rhoea discolor, atis and guyabano.
The lecture/demo on processing of moringa leaves started with the discussion of the rationale of the activity by Mr. Melvin Apiado, the Secretary of Young Educators Society (YES) after which, he introduced the demonstrators. Ms. Jovelyn C. Salmorin, the President of YES, demonstrated the moringa flavor shake.  After her demonstration, Ms. Salmorin gave the beneficiaries and students a taste test and they said it was delicious. The second demonstrators were Zhanaynge Klei Apostol, the Vice-President and Neliza Benito, a member of the organization. They demonstrated on how to make moringa tea while Leslee Bumanglag, a 4th year representative, demonstrated moringa flavor coffee.  All the tasters said it was delicious. Last to demonstrate was Ms. Susan Bonifacio, the community extension program coordinator, she demonstrated the moringa burger patties.  The beneficiaries and students helped in the preparation of the ingredients. The participants watched the demonstrator while she was cooking the patties.  When the patties were cooked already, Neliza Benito sliced it and allowed the participants to have a taste test.
After the seminar, the CTE faculty and students turned over the donated 10-meter net to the Brgy. Chairman of Caribquib. The net shall serve as a protection for the herbal garden against other elements that might destroy the garden. It was agreed by the proponents and the community that installation of the net shall be the responsibility of the barangay. Dr. Esmeralda Albano Baldonado and Dr. Shirley Mina, both CTE and VJSSGS professors also distributed free clothes courtesy of Dr. Mina to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries were very grateful for the free seminar rendered by the proponents. The proponents were also contented because of the positive comment of the beneficiaries.

BY: FLORDELINA B. UTLEG
APRIL 21, 2017
Ms. Flordelina B. Utleg, the CTE and VJSSGS community extension coordinator and Ms. Maria Angelina Bacarra, the High School extension coordinator agreed that the literacy service will be conducted simultaneously in Brgy. Talingaan, Laoag City and in Brgy. Caribquib, Banna, Ilocos Norte. Ms. Utleg was assigned in Caribquib while Ms. Bacarra is assigned in Talingaan, Laoag City.

Ms. Bacarra also attended the first day of the literacy service in Caribquib and Ms. Utleg also attended the last day in Talingaan, Laoag City.
When the coordinators arrived at Caribquib Day Care Center, the beneficiaries were there already.  Christian King R. Namnama, one of the pre-school children led the opening prayer and Ms. Hazel Jade Abian, student of CTE told him to render a vocal solo and he sang “Di Kita Iiwan”.  She also asked some children to lead an action song for the group and the three (3) children went in front to lead. Ms. Utleg oriented the parents to guide their children in their school works and teach them also good values.  She also told them to attend the literacy service because those who have perfect attendance, perfect post-test and perfect quiz will be given prizes during the culminating activity and deserving pupils will be awarded.
After the orientation, Ms. Utleg instructed the students to distribute the prepared learning kit and bring out the copy of the pre-test questions for the children.  After the pre-test, the students immediately checked and wrote their scores. 
After a short break, the students had their lecture on letters.  Hazel Abian discussed the alphabet in a manner that the children were interested to answer. After the lecture, the students distributed their worksheets lesson on identifying letters, writing big and small letters, and writing the missing letters. 
On December 19, 2016, Ms. Bacarra together with the students went to Brgy. Talingaan, Laoag City for the first day of the literacy service and Ms. Utleg proceeded to Caribquib for the continuation of the service.
During the second phase, Christian King Namnama, the most active pupil, led the opening prayer as well as the action song.  Generose Duldulao and Princess Burigsay were the lecturers.  Generose drew the different shapes on the board.  After identifying the shapes, Generose and Princess showed visual aids for the lesson on identifying colors.  Generose raised the visual aids one by one and the children told the color.  They also gave name of fruits and other objects and asked their colors.  After that, Hazel and Rodel instructed the children to bring out their crayons.  They told them to pick-up and raise the crayon as fast as they can with the correct color that they asked.  The children did their best and the first one who was able to raise the crayon with correct color was given a big, big clap with the words, “Very good.”  Then after the lecture, they let them did their worksheets on shapes.
On the third phase, Sonia Cariaga and Rodel Dacoscos were the lecturers on identifying numbers.  Sonia wrote the numbers on the board.  She and Rodel asked all the children to read the numbers at the same time then asked the children to read one by one.  After the lecture, they let them  bring out their worksheets on identifying numbers- writing the number of objects, and counting how many times the shapes were drawn. 
The students also required the pupils who incurred absences to answer their worksheets that they had missed during their vacant time. 
During the activity, the faculty, staff, and students saw their effort and energy in assisting the children.  They assisted and guided them enthusiastically with patience. The children were very attentive, smart, and very responsive also during the lectures and in doing their worksheets.
A post-test was given on the last phase. After the post-test, the faculty, staff and students conducted a simple Christmas/Culminating program and let the children play different games. The prizes for the Bring Me game were donated by Ms. Grace Alejandro, the community extension program coordinator.  After the different games, the Awarding Ceremony was conducted.  Ms. Utleg gave  award for the children who had a perfect attendance, perfect post-test, and quiz and the other awards were awarded by the students.  The ribbon for the Most Outstanding Pupil was pinned by Ms. Anabelle Pascual, the Day Care Teacher of Caribquib. 
The prizes for the awardees were solicited by Juan Carlos Tabios III from Hon. Matthew Marcos Manotoc (school supplies) and Jean Kathrine Q. Macugay, the CTE alumna, gave pencils.  For the gift giving, the VJSSGS-MAEd faculty and students gave tumblers and Ms. Utleg solicited grocery items and some pad papers for Grade 1 from Ildefonso U. Gonzales III, the President of the Student Supreme Council (SSC).  All the solicited items were given to Caribquib, Banna and Talingaan, Laoag City during the culminating activity.
Before the end of the activity, Ms. Utleg delivered a Closing Message to the beneficiaries followed by some Words of Gratitude from Ms. Anabel Pascual.  Ms. Pascual was very grateful for the Literacy Program.  She thanked Northwestern University for the literacy outreach program and told that this kind of activity helped a lot for it was another kind of exposure of the children on how to deal with other people.  The children were able to develop different good values.  She then requested if it is possible for it to become a continuous activity in their barangay. She also requested that their day care center be painted just like what they did in the stage of the barangay hall. Said requests were noted by Ms. Alejandro.
The group from Northwestern was so happy because everybody felt contentment and success in their hearts for they did their best during the Literacy Program. 
Seminar on Filing of Documents
BY: FLORDELINA B. UTLEG
APRIL 21, 2017
Ms. Flordelina B. Utleg, the CTE and VJSSGS community extension coordinator headed the group  for the seminar on filing of documents and they left the university at 8:00 in the morning.  The beneficiaries were already at the venue for the seminar when the group arrived.  Ms. Maria Angelina Bacarra, the High School extension coordinator and the students helped Ms. Utleg distribute the seminar kit to the participants. 
Ms. Utleg was the lecturer and she discussed about filing; the importance of filing; Why should organizations have a good filing system; What do we file?; When do we file?; Equipment used for filing; What files are used and how are they used?; Methods of filing, Maintaining the filing system; and Good housekeeping and safety. The participants were very attentive. 
During the lecture, the lecturer showed the example of Filing Key, File-out Form, and File-out Card.  She asked Ms. Enriqueta Gaygay, the secretary of the barangay, about the names of the documents she is filing.  Ms. Gaygay enumerated: minutes of regular session, minutes of general assembly, monthly transmittal report, different standing committees, committee reports, committee hearings, ordinances, resolutions, tanod files, annual budget, BHW files, barangay cases, and loans.  Ms. Utleg told them to file immediately the documents that they received and the copy of the receiving copy of documents.  Furthermore, she told that the File-out Form must have column for the name file/borrower, document, date taken out, signature of the borrower and the date returned while the File-out Card, there must be also a column for out name, file, date taken out,  date returned, and remarks.  Old/inactive files must be placed in the archive files. The lecturer told them also that all their activities must be documented.
During the workshop, Ms. Gaygay brought out all their documents and she sorted out.  She put together the documents with the same title.  Ms. Juanita Arellano, the treasurer of the barangay and Kagawad John Gaspar sorted out the forms of approved loans and copies of issued Certification. Ms. Utleg told them to arrange according to sitio.  There were four sitios of the barangay namely: Sitio 1-Saranay; Sitio 2-Salacnib; Sitio 3- Sadiri and Sitio 4- Timpuyog.  They used pink folders for the forms of loans as their color coding.
Kagawad Marlo Gombio cut the encoded label for the folder. Ms. Bacarra and the students pasted the cut out labels in the folders. Ms. Utleg told them that they will use the code – CAR followed by a number.  CAR  represents  the three (3) first letters of CARIBQUIB.  Ms. Grace Alejandro, the extension program coordinator on Social Development printed the File-Out Card. 
Ms. Utleg told the beneficiaries that since they have few documents yet unlike the university, the folders must be kept inside the file boxes so that this can be easily accessed when the documents are needed. Ms. Utleg and Ms. Bacarra arranged the file boxes in the steel cabinet. The four (4) file boxes were given by John Sinang, the VJSSGS-MAEd student.  The Filing Key was pasted at the side of the steel cabinet by the barangay secretary.

List of the 17 Regions in the Philippines
National - Capital Region ● I - Ilocos ● II - Cagayan ● III - C. Luzon ● IV-A - Calabarzon ● IV-B - Mimaropa ● V - Bicol ● VI - W. Visayas ● VII - C. Visayas ● VIII - E. Visayas ● IX - Zamboanga ● X - N. Mindanao ● XI - Davao ● XII - Soccsksargen ● XIII - Caraga ● XIV - CAR ● XV - BARMM

Within these 17 regions in the Philippines, there are 42,027 barangays, 1486 municipalities, 148 cities, 82 provinces. It has a democratic form of government and the freedom of speech is upheld by law. English is the "lingua franca" and is the mode of instruction in all high schools, colleges and universities. Laws and contracts are written in English.

The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

We are one with Flora. Throughout time humans and the animal kingdom have relied on the healing power of herbs. We used them in several ways: we have ingested them, rubbed them on our bodies, bathed in them, even used them in our cooking to flavor our foods.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

HISTORY OF CARIBQUIB, BANNA, ILOCOS NORTE

by Flordelina B. Utleg - May 5, 2011

A popular local story also provides for the origin of the barangay’s name: • It is said that long time ago, the place was covered with thick forests and plenty of grasses. But when the early settlers practiced kaingin (slash and burn agriculture), the trees disappeared and the grasses dried up. Animals had to feed on scanty and dried grass. However, there was a certain place on the side of a hill where stunted grasses grew. It was there where the people gazed their animals. Since there were only few grasses, the animals had to kibkib (to consume bit by bit) the grasses. It is believed that this caused the people to name the place Caribquib. • The barangay has sprawling agricultural lands, forests and creeks (Manuel, Adonis B. Jan. 30, 2011)

Brief Profile of Barangay Caribquib

  • Barangay Caribquib, one of the twenty barangays of Banna, Ilocos Norte, is located on the north part of the municipality. It is found three kilometers north of the poblacion. It is bounded on the south by Barangay Valenciano of the same municipality, on the north by Barangay Fortuna, Marcos, Ilocos Norte, on the west by Barangay Barbarangay, another barangay of Banna and on the east by Barangay Tabtabagan, Banna, Ilocos Norte. It has a total land area of six hundred hectares ( 600 ha.).
  • Barangay Caribquib is composed of the following sitios: Caribquib Proper, Dispensa, San Juan, Nanamburan and Daramuangan. These sitios are far from each other.
  • This barangay was established in 1913 when Banna became a regular municipality after it was separated from the Municipality of Batac, Ilocos Norte.
    • The original families were those of Pedro Valentino, Tranquilino Dimaya and Apolonio Dizol. The earliest tenientes del barrio were: Tranquilino Dimaya, Francisco Ramones, Herminigildo Valentino, Blas Braceros, Valentin Limet, Saturnino Tabucbuc, Francisco Aspili, Aurelio Romualdo, Mardonio Quimoyog, Paulino Lumbo, Fermin Valentino and Januario Pascua.
  • A popular local story also provides for the origin of the barangay’s name:
    • It is said that long time ago, the place was covered with thick forests and plenty of grasses. But when the early settlers practiced kaingin (slash and burn agriculture), the trees disappeared and the grasses dried up. Animals had to feed on scanty and dried grass. However, there was a certain place on the side of a hill where stunted grasses grew. It was there where the people gazed their animals. Since there were only few grasses, the animals had to kibkib (to consume bit by bit) the grasses. It is believed that this caused the people to name the place Caribquib.
    • The barangay has sprawling agricultural lands, forests and creeks. Farming is the primary occupation of the people whose main crops are rice, garlic, tobacco and onions. Aside from the farmers, many of the people in the place work as teachers, employees, businessmen and balikbayans.
    • A public elementary school and a national secondary school are situated in the barangay and these institutions serve as the educational grounds for the barangay’s young children and learners.
    • Barangay Caribquib is one of the most agriculturally productive barangays of the municipality contributing to food security and to the economic prosperity in the locality.
    • Owing to the culture of the place and in keeping with tradition the residents of Barangay Caribquib are an industrious, frugal and disciplined people. This can be manifested by an above-average and more affluent lifestyle enjoyed by the barangay’s inhabitants.
    • Because of the existence of an elementary and secondary school within the barangay, there is a higher rate of literacy among the people. And as a barangay situated along a major road, the Ilocos Norte- Abra National Highway, there is a greater opportunity for the barangay’s learners to pursue post secondary and tertiary level education. Thus, there is a higher ratio of college graduates and professionals than is usually found in the more remote barangays of the municipality.
    • Barangay Caribquib has also attained other areas of distinction in the municipality. Owing to a diligent , dedicated and committed barangay government headed by equally diligent, dedicated and committed barangay officials, Barangay Caribquib has attained the distinction of winning ( three – time Champion , Category A) the municipality’s OPLAN SALUKAG PROGRAM ( Operation Plan: Saluadam Lugar Ken Aglawlaw), an environmental program and competition initiated and conducted annually by the Local Government of Banna. Likewise, Barangay Caribquib has been a consistent winner ( three-time 1ST Place Awardee) of the CARLY AWARDS ( Community Acclaimed Rural Legislators of the Year Awards) also held annually in the municipality.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND COST:
  • The Banna Zipline Project is located in the Paraiso ti Caribquib, in particular, on the sprawling forest area and creek on the western part of Barangay Caribquib, at Sitio Daramuangan.
  • At first the banks along the creek of the Paraiso ti Caribquib was just an alternative site for a picnic for those who had had enough of the sun and water afforded by the town’s rivers , and the soaring hills and forests around the creek as another destination for a trek for the more adventurous type.
  • The Sitio of Daramuangan wherein can be found the Paraiso ti Caribquib became the venue of a Walk for a Cause conducted in the Year of 2007 by the Roman Catholic Church -Parish of San Roque . Likewise, a Mass and a Thanksgiving Service was held at the same venue, with the presence of the Diocesian Bishop Sergio Utleg. Then Municipal Mayor, Honorable CARLITO A. ABADILLA II attended both events and saw the area’s potential.
  • It is noteworthy to mention at this juncture that the Municipality of Banna, Ilocos Norte represented by then Municipal Mayor Honorable CARLITO A. ABADILLA II witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement for the development of a one hundred-hectare ( 100 ha.) area under a co-management scheme with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) of ILOCOS NORTE and the Barangay Council of Caribquib represented by Punong Barangay Adonis Manuel for eco-tourism cum forest protection purposes.
  • Wishing to start developing the site, the Barangay Government of Caribquib and its constituents, through self-help, built a handful of cottages on one side of the creek.
  • But it was through the stroke of genius of Honorable Carly Abadilla II, then at the helm of the Local Government of Banna, and greatly inspired to develop the area as an eco-tourism venture and as a premier destination for pleasure and recreation for people, vacationers and visitors that the Paraiso ti Caribquib became famous and a destination of choice.
  • With an allocation from the Banna Municipal Fund, the Banna Zipline Project, the first ever to be built and installed in the whole Province of Ilocos Norte ,became a reality. To complement the exhilarating experience derived from a heart-stopping ride at the Zipline, a Hanging Bridge was built by the Local Government Of Banna, Ilocos Norte near the Zipline. This hanging bridge induces the same adrenaline- producing experience given by the Zipline.
  • Due to the daily large number of people visiting the Paraiso and wishing to ride the Zipline and walk on the Hanging Bridge, the Barangay Government of Caribquib installed additional cottages along the banks at a cost of Twenty Five Thousand Pesos and landscaped the areas in the site for added attraction. Donations from other sources greatly helped to improve the area.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
  • To date there are now five (5) cottages built and owned by the Barangay Government of Caribquib , and four (4) built and owned by each of four sitios of the barangay. An area of the forest has been cleared to serve as parking space for vehicles carrying visitors to the area.
  • The Barangay Government of Caribquib manages the operation of the Paraiso Ti Caribquib Resort, including the Zipline , Hanging Bridge and other facilities in the site.
  • For those wishing to visit the Paraiso Ti Caribquib avail of its facilities at the following cost:
    • Cottage Fee: Php 200.00 / cottage/day

The officials were very cooperative because they already dug holes for the seedlings and they already prepared a tree guard for the plant.

At 12:00 noon, the group took their lunch. After one hour, the group climbed the mountain to continue planting. The worst was, the group was not able to follow where the Chairman went. The group was shouting calling the Chairman when they had gone so far. Some did not continue to go far because they were afraid. The way was too risky. Some part of the way going to the mountain is only 3 feet wide and very slippery when wet. Some were lost on their way. There were only three (3) persons who reached the top of the mountain, Mr. Calaramo, and the 2 CTE students. The group was not able to plant because there was a heavy downpour. They came down from the mountain and some even slipped. Almost all of them were wet. To enjoy the rest of the time, some went to try the zipline. The zipline is 160 meters long. It is the first zipline in Ilocos Norte. Some tried to walk also in the hanging bridge.

'PHASE 4

TREE PLANTING IN PARAISO TI CARIBQUIB, BANNA, ILOCOS NORTE ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2010'

By Flordelina B. Utleg – May 5, 2011

Climbing the mountain to plant trees is the greatest adventure of an individual. It measures how strong and healthy a person is and how he loves the mother earth.

The thirteen CTE students and Mr. Michael Jay Calaramo with the three (3) Northwestern University security guards left Northwestern University campus at 7:45 in the morning. The CTE-SO adviser, Ms. Flordelina B. Utleg with her sister and her friend waited for them at the Laoag-Gabu Road junction. While they were at the junction, they took a picture while waiting for one (1) CTE student. The group rode in a dump truck with laughter. They stayed at the back. The adviser and her sister sat in front. The group reached Paraiso ti Caribquib at 8:45 A.M. They took a rest for few a minutes.

At 9:00 o’clock the group with some barangay officials carried the seedlings and proceeded to the way going to the mountain. Mr. Calaramo was left because he was busy planning and sketching the other side of the mountain. They walked beside the zipline center. When they were about thirty (30) meters away from the zipline, somebody shouted to tell them that they should go back. They went down and proceeded to the other way beside the videooke center.

While they were climbing the mountain, cheerfulness characterized by laughter pervaded. The students and some officials were very fast to walk and it was very slippery. The adviser sometimes held the weeds when she climbed. When the way was so steep and slippery, the guard held her hand and pulled her so she could go up. Some slippers were destroyed. The group sat down and took a little rest when they got tired and they teased each other. Though how tired they were, still they felt joy and happiness. The security guards informed the group that they enjoyed the activity. They suggested their participation in a similar activity.

They planted some Gmelina seedlings on the way going up the mountain. They reached the peak of the mountain after 30-45 minutes and while they sat down for few minutes to rest, one dragonfly alighted on her foot and after few minutes another came. This brought another hilarious experience. They knew they have come part of the environment.

After rest, the officials dug holes where they planted the seedlings. They worked and fast and though they were sweating profusely under the heat of the sun they were swept with feelings of satisfaction because their goal of helping restore the balance of nature through tree planting was achieved. They never complained of fatigue. Taking pictures while planting was another experience which brought joy. This is for posterity.

The last seedling was planted by the adviser. The security guards made a tree guard for her plant and labeled it, “LINA NWU” (LINA the four ending letters of FLORDELINA). After planting, they devoured the “Dingdong cornik” they brought. They drank the cold water which the barangay officials brought.

When they started to go down at 11:20 A.M., they were grouped into three. The first group told that there is another way going down. The second group did not follow. They followed the way where they passed when they went up. The third group (adviser’s group) decided whom to follow. At first, they followed the first group but when the second group shouted that there was no way going down where they went. The two groups went back and followed the second group. They were all laughing when they were all together going down again.

When they reached the cottage where they left their baggage, they told the adviser that they were so hungry. The adviser told them to bring out the foods. Mariecris Duldulao, the CTE-SO Treasurer, and Gladys Bumanglag, the CTE-SO President, went to buy soft drinks for the group. Mr. Michael Jay Calaramo with the three security guards took their lunch at the town proper. Some of the group together with the adviser went to take a bath first at the dam. Because the water was deep so they preferred to bathe using the flowing water from a hose. After taking a bath, they went back to the cottage and took their lunch. One official came to give foods for the group and asked for Mr. Calaramo. The adviser called Mr. Calaramo by her mobile phone telling him that the officials prepared lunch for them. Mr. Calaramo came back after a few minutes. He and the adviser joined the officials to take their lunch.

At 1:00 in the afternoon, they left the place. The group who took a bath did not change their clothes. They were wet when they went home. They reached Laoag at 2:00 o’clock and they went directly to Payas Botanical Garden. The group went inside the “Butterfly cage” and had picture taking. The group left the place after 30 minutes. Mr. Calaramo told the group that they will go back to Paraiso ti Caribquib again after the intramurals.

Everybody went home with combined feelings of joy and contentment.

Caimito and chesa are not native but they were introduced in the Philippines; alukon is endemic because it is found only in Luzon; pakak wood is used in making guitars. The mango that we call “native mango” is not true because this fruit came from India and avocado is a native tree of South America.

LECTURE/DEMO ON PROCESSING OF MORINGA LEAVES CUM ENHANCEMENT OF HERBAL MEDICINAL GARDEN/TREE PLANTING BY: FLORDELINA B. UTLEG APRIL 21, 2017

Along with the lecture demo on food processing of moringa leaves, an enhancement of the herbal garden was also conducted. There are a number of advantages that one may gain from the creation of an herb garden and growing of moringa leaves which is also considered as herbal plant. An herb garden can be a very attractive addition to the barangay, and if constructed properly, it can actually benefit the community of its medicinal benefits. By investing a small amount of money, time, energy, and space, they can save a tremendous amount of money over the long term by growing their own herbs. While other people continue to use synthetic medications which were produced in a laboratory, they can use natural herbs which come from nature itself.

Before the landscaping of the medicinal garden, Mr. Michael Calaramo, the manager of the Eco-Tourism and Botanical Garden of NWU oriented the faculty, staff, and students on how to plant the herbal medicinal plants. The faculty and students of CTE/VJSSGS together with the non-academic staff cooperatively planted the different herbal medicinal plants such as oregano, tanglad, herba maria, mayana, kutsay, dangla, aloe vera, pancit pancitan, basil, rhoea discolor, atis and guyabano.

The lecture/demo on processing of moringa leaves started with the discussion of the rationale of the activity by Mr. Melvin Apiado, the Secretary of Young Educators Society (YES) after which, he introduced the demonstrators. Ms. Jovelyn C. Salmorin, the President of YES, demonstrated the moringa flavor shake.
