SAN PABLO CITY DISTRICT JAIL PERSONNEL UNDERWENT SEMINAR ON VERMICULTURE

Organic Farming Advocate Renato A. Belen with the leadership of BJMP District Jail in San Pablo City led by Sr. Insp. Arvin T. Abastillas.
San Pablo City - To provide know-how for additional livelihood activities to the inmates at the San Pablo City District Jail of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), jail personnel headed by J/SInsp. Arvin T.  Abastillas, District Jail Warden, underwent a Seminar on Vermiculture last February 17 at Ato Belen’s Farm and Nursey at Barangay San Juan, this city. Jail Officers J/S Inspectors  Adelaida Taburada, Jerome Soriano and Victor Manalo also attended the seminar. 

     Mr. Renato A. Belen, or Ma Ato, the Farm Owner, discussed the standard procedures in  Vermiculture, or artificial rearing or cultivation of worms (Earthworms) and the technology or process of using worms for the betterment of human beings.  The trainees were all given the opportunity to actually observe set-up for vermin-farming, as well as in the production of agricultural inputs, such as fish emulsion, lactobacilli, and organic fertilizer.  They also learned more about organic farming..

     According to Jail Warden Abastillas the information and technique they learned in vermiculture from ma Ato will be shared to the inmates, knowing that the technology can be an additional mean of livelihood to the inmates. Of course, inmates are also being trained on handicraft-making inside the jail. 

     Ma Ato added that  Vermiculture is one of the best solution in addressing the current ecological problems including climate change and food security, since earthworms aerate, till and fertilize the soil, thus, improving the soil structure, nutrient and water holding qualities of soil.

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A. Bautista. During the incumbency of elected Mayor Lauro D. Dizon Sr., with the help of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, and under the supervision of Dr. Juan B. Hernandez, then club secretary of the local Rotary Club and Chairman of the City Beautification Committee, constructed some park structures at the park, with the fountain featuring the country lass with agriculture harvest as centerpiece. Probably, Hernandez and then City Engineer Perfecto Reyes were inspired by the figures affixed on the façade of the City Hall Building which symbolizes progress. Sometimes on April of 1961 when then President Carlos Garcia made a...
