A 1.5-hectare idle lot within the premises of the Saint John Bosco Parish in Tondo, Manila will be transformed into a “vegetable garden city” in partnership with the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).
The program aims to serve the daily subsistence of people in the surrounding communities.
“The DAR will provide the farm inputs – seeds, seedling trays, garden tools, fertilizer, and pesticide. Kailangan lang natin volunteer garden workers,” DAR Secretary John Castriciones said, adding that the barangay officials readily volunteered to be the garden workers. (Ellalyn Ruiz)
