General Assembly Allotment Gardeners
The Allotment Gardeners of Cagayan de Oro held their general assembly last August 18, 2007 at the occasion of the annual Manresa Days celebration. This year's venue was the Santol tree area just opposite of the PUVeP office in Manresa Farm. Aside of representatives from almost all allotment gardens of the city, the assembly was joined by Mrs. Estrella Borja and Eng. Alexis Maristaza, Aggie Outreach Director and Assistant Dean, respectively, DevCom students, Aggie Alumna Ms. Amy Ravidas as well as Ms. Rachel Catherine Asuncion of the Pilgrim Christian College and some of her students .
As part of the activity, update reports from the different allotment gardens were given by the respective presidents, their issues were discussed by the plenary. Of special concern were the land tenure issues in Gusa and Kauswagan and Dr. Holmer committed that this will be brought up to the city government and barangay administration to look for an amicable solution.
Dr. Holmer further gave an overview of the planned activities for 2007/2008 with special mentioning of the new allotment garden being presently set up in Macasandig for additional 20 families as well as the donation from Belgium to establish a 9th allotment garden in the city. He also announced that the search for the best allotment garden of the city is on and that the awarding will be hold during the 4th Allotment Garden Day this coming December 1, 2007 at Xavier University.
Raffle draws in between the different discussions excited the participants and among the prices were different agricultural supplies such as vegetable seeds and seedling trays as well as the new PUVeP T-shirt and PUVeP cap.
One of the highlights of the activity was the awarding of a certificate of recognition to Ms. Nora Alensub, teacher at the elementary school of Balulang, for her efforts in the school gardening and ecosan program in Balulang.
The joint singing of "The Impossible Dream", the favorite song of Fr. William Masterson SJ, founder of the College of Agriculture, ended this years' general assembly.
