Abella said promoting the urban container gardening concept follows the 10-point agenda of Mayor Sara Duterte. Sara’s administration aims to promote food security and food safety.

It is possible to create a small edible garden no matter how small one’s backyard is, Abella said. The urban container garden showcase occupies a small area but has various plants including pechay, lettuce, tomatoes and okra. ”Hopefully, Davaoeños will learn how to make themselves sustainable by having food right in their backyard,” she said.

In countries where English is not the first language, many parents and communities believe their children will get a head – start in education by going “straight English” and by passing home language. Many government are now making English as an official national language. Their motivation behind this is to grow their economic and improve the career prospect of their younger generations. However, research finding consistently show that learners benefit from using their home language in education in early grade years. Yet, many devel-

oping countries continue to use other language for teaching in their school. First learning does not begin in school. Learning starts at home in learners home language. Although the startof school is a continuation of this learning. It also presents significant changes in the mode of education.

However, by using learner’s home language, the school can help children navigate the new environment and bridge their learning at school with experience the bring home. By using learners home language, learners are more likely to engage in the learning process. It gives learners confident and help to affirm their cultural identity.

Promoting nationalism and patriotism among students By Fritzie M. Cabulay

According to Mark Twain, “In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” As the Department of Education upholds and lives up one of its core values, the “Maka-bansa”, the Department has always been ardent and eager in instituting measures to better instill in the hearts and minds of students the value of nationalism and

patriotism. Moreover, in a school setting, administrators and teachers are doing their best in monitoring students who do not attend the Flag Raising ceremony because of being late and tardiness. Some have imposed school offenses and sanctions if one is caught being late and not attending the ceremony. Patriotism, according to Wikipedia is defined as an attachment to the homeland. This attachment can be viewed in terms of different features relating to one’s

own homeland, including its ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects and it encompasses a set of concepts closely related those of nationalism. And yes, however, patriotism and nationalism is not only shown by attending Flag Raising ceremonies but there is definitely more to it. Like, we can shoe our love to our country by taking care of its natural resources and the environment, by taking care of and cultivating the Philippine soil with utmost com-

mitment. Like not littering inside the school premises, or simply at all not causing any harm to any Filipino entity. And as teachers, yes we can do it by setting as a good example first to our students. Of course, we cannot share what we do not have, that is why, let us first live and promote nationalism and patriotism among ourselves so that we may be able to effectively communicate it as well to our students and to the community.
