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 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.
