“The Greatest Revolution Of All Time!” Frank A Hilario Calls It. “Born Out Of Love” – The New Eden

The greatest revolution of all time suggests itself today – born out of love! An intellectual reaction to Russia’s war on Ukraine on that part adversely affecting energy products. It also revives a lingering love affair of mine 57 years back when I graduated from UP Los Baños. First love never dies? I have always been a rebel thinkerer.

Above, the love image from 123rf.comsuggests The New Garden of Eden where grows Adam’s Apple in its original state: au naturel. Absolutely no chemicals involved. Entirely grown naturally.

Yes, The New Apple. From The Organic Revolution.

Revolution in agriculture. And it will occur in the Philippines first!

Here’s a wake-upper you probably haven’t heard. Luisa Maria Jacinta C Jocson says (“Alternative Fertilizers Touted As Import Costs Rise,” 01 Feb 2022, BusinessWorld, bworldonline.com):

The Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) said farmers must explore non-traditional fertilizers after sharp increases in the price of imported fertilizer. “The challenge is to (reduce) our dependence on imported chemical fertilizers by encouraging the use of non-traditional fertilizers like organic, microbial, and biorational fertilizers,” FPA Executive Director Wilfredo C Roldansaid.

I say, “Don’t panic, go organic!” 100% organic. The greatest revolution I’m telling you about. Because the effects would be worldwide – and unopposed!

Count the results of going 100% organic in farming & gardening now:

Cultivation cost shrinks 10 times. At least 5 times.

“We have been asking the [Department of Agriculture (DA)] since last year to provide subsidies to rice and corn farmers to cover the cost of fertilizer” – the farmers’ group SINAG said. Fertilizer price nearly doubled to P1,600/bag in August 2021; in December, this went up to P2,500/bag. On the average, 10 bags of fertilizers go into every hectare planted.

Ms Luisa Maria says, “(SINAG) said that the government must provide more support to farmers to deal with rising input costs.” They are demanding that the DA subsidize the cost of chemical fertilizers.

Better for the DA to subsidize organic fertilizer (OF) for you farmers. Best if you make your own. Whatever material you use to make OF, the cost should not be that much. (What’s more, I can teach you my 57-year old zero-cost method, “WEALth” – for a glimpse, see my essay “Here’s Looking At The New Agriculture In The New Garden Of Eden!” 12 March 2022, Towards A New Eden, Blogspot.com.)

All foods become healthy – and buyable!

No chemical fertilizers applied, no chemical pesticides sprayed – no unnatural chemicals in or on fruits, leaves, whole vegetables. Consumers will happily buy healthy foods.

Food security is assured 100%.

Because everyone can afford all kinds of food grown by farmers and gardeners, the Philippines will become the new Garden of Eden!

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) disappear.

GHGs from the farms and gardens in these 7000 islands will decrease to zero, none, nil. I expect the pleasant effect we will feel within 2 growing seasons.

So: The best idea, and most revolutionary, is for PH Agriculture to apply 100% organic fertilizer. To Good be the Glory!@517

Lessons Learned From Roman Catholic “Father Acong” About Successfully Building Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) With Enduring Love

Image
I have been reading & rereading the book “ Father Ciriaco Alberto Sevilla, Jr – MSK Trailblazer” (242 pages, published 2010 in Lucena City, edited by Milwida S Reyes ). A 12-year-old book – is the content still relevant to come up with a new version? My answer is, “Yes!” Personally, I want the book to highlight the love for the poor parishioners that Father Acong showed, as he had single-mindedly created 400+ Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) in the far-flung villages of Quezon Province before he died Oct 2007. If that is not love for the poor, I don’t know what love is! About the BECs, Msgr Lope C Robredillo, VG, says [“An Overview Of The Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), From The Other Side Of History , msgrlope.blogspot.com ]: The Second Plenary Council of the Philippines devotes two paragraphs to describe the BECs… “They are small communities of Christians, usually of families who gather together around the Word of God and the Eucharist.” As Roman Catholic, an edit

“Creative Freedom” – UP, Time To Replace Your Symbol Of Academic Freedom!

Image
It occurred to me today, Sunday, 16 October 2022, that changing the symbol of the University of the Philippines System (UP) is long overdue – because the Oblation (smaller but sunnier image) has ever inspired disapproval , even radicalism, and never creativity ! This is a creative person writing, self-taught in communication and in digital media – yes, I am a UP alumnus, 1965. The bigger image is my photograph (taken 29 July 2016) of the fiberglass sculptural piece of Maria Pureza Escaño , which she titles “The Rose Of Marya: Service Through Excellence” ( Maria Pureza Escaño , weebly.com ). Commissioned by the Sigma Delta Sorority , “Marya” is now a landmark at the UP Los Baños Alumni Plaza. Ms Maria says of it: Recently, Maria Pureza Escaño was handpicked by the University of the Philippines for her concept and rendition of "The Rose of Marya: Service through Excellence," an allegorical seven-foot fiber glass sculpture celebrating100 years of excellence and service to

SOLVE As A Way Of Speech & Blogging As A Way Of Write

Searca Tuesday, 28 April 2020, 10:00 AM, embarks on a Southeast Asian voyage of discovering and/or uncovering pieces & sets of knowledge on food security given the global coronavirus outbreak.  It is a webinar series to “ highlight concrete actions in agriculture and rural development in Southeast Asia.” The series to be launched is called “Searca Online Learning & Virtual Engagement,” acronym SOLVE, which is Searca’s “effort to break boundaries, both physical and conceptual, to strategically disseminate just-in-time solutions.” It is ambitious, but the times call for it. Searca Director Glenn B Gregorio says of it: The new normal brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic has firmed up Searca’s resolve to embark on new modalities and use technology-mediated platforms of interactions to effectively deliver context-relevant and valuable services to its stakeholders, including farmers and the public. SOLVE is virtual but the learnings are real. Mr Gregorio said: SOLVE particularly hi
