THE P.G. Crisostomo Integrated School in Barangay Aduas Sur, Cabanatuan continues to distribute vegetable seeds to the members of its community to help ensure food security during the pandemic.

The school said it aims to sustain its “Quarantanim Program,” a vegetable distribution project to help families.

PGCIS acting head teacher Cristhel Batalla said that families have a meaningful activity and at the same time earn money.

“Naisip namin na bigyan sila ng mapaglilibangan para mayroon silang paglaanan ng oras nila, at the same time natututo sila at puwede rin po nilang pagkakitaan,” Batalla said.

The project complemented the school’s Technology and Livelihood Education subject where students learn agri-crop for specialization, she added.

The school also provided the Boy Scouts of the Philippines’ Cabanatuan City Council with seedlings for its urban gardening project.

“Bilang kabataan, nakikita ko ang programa na ito na napakalaki po ng epekto sa community natin lalo na ngayong pandemic. Limitado po ang pinagkukunan ng mga kababayan po natin at sa pamamagitan po na pamimigay ng punla ay nasu-sustain po ‘yung pinagkukunan po nila,” Boy Scouts leader Jansen Oseo said.
