Extended Program “Gulayan sa Tahanan”

By: CARISSA JOYCE G. SINLAO
“Alone, we can do so little,
Together, we can do so much”

As Department of Education (DepEd) has strengthened the implementation of the

Enhanced Gulayan sa Paaralan Program (EGPP) in public elementary and secondary schools, the
Olo-Olo Elementary School implements an extended program at home “ Gulayan sa Tahanan”
through the initiative of our active School Principal , Mrs. Eliza H. Sumalbag.
The Olo-Olo Elementary School implemented this program with the help of our
supportive stakeholders. We have witnessed the positive impact of the Gulayan sa Paaralan that
is why we came to an idea that extending it at home will help the learners develop sense of
responsibility through help of their parents.
The teachers of OES urged the parents to take part in this program as we always knew
that learning starts from home. Mrs. Eliza H. Sumalbag said one time “ We can never make it
without you my dear parents”.
The school have asked the learner’s parents to monitor the activities taken for the
“Gulayan sa Tahanan” documentation. They also serve as a guide to their son/daughter in order
for them to take care their plants properly.
Olo-olo Elementary School held up high for implementing this Program for it aims to be
an eye opener to the community the importance of agriculture.
It is indeed that education starts at home and as we take step in the future, learning should
be nonstop either we have it in school or at home.
This program proves the OES is the BEST.
“Gulayan sa Mababang Paaralan ng Olo-Olo’

Gulayan sa Paaralan,
Pati na sa Tahanan
OES may Programang pangkalahatan
Tara na! Ating pasyalan.

Mga magulang, guro at mag-aaral

Sama-sama tayo na’t magbungkal
Bigyan ng sapat na dilig at aruga
Nang sa gayo’y hirap at pagod ay magbunga

Upo, Talong at kalabasa

Mga pagkaing masusustansiya
Okra, Kamatis at ampalaya
Tulong para katawa’y sumigla

Paaralang masagana
Lahat ay nagkakaisa
OES totoong da best ka!
Sa mata ng tao’y laging panalo ka!.

Santiago: A Destination Wonder
By: Rosemarie Ellorin

From the glistening seas and towering mountains, there is no doubt that the town of
Santiago located in Ilocos Sur province is a treasure that is jam-packed with breathtaking
sceneries.
As a resident of Santiago, I must say that we can keep up with other famous natural spots
here in the Philippines. I am not lying when I say we have similar beaches that can topple the
precious white sands of Boracay and we also have mountains that you can hike and trek when
you are feeling adventurous.
Ladies and Gents, I present to you one of the gems of our town, the Santiago Cove. You
don’t have to travel by plane or sail a ship to go to Boracay or El Nido just to experience the
white sand beaches because here in the town of Santiago, we have a similar coastal setting. We
got a white sand beach, clean salt waters, delicious foods, and to top it all up, we have Santorini-
inspired buildings to elevate your expectations.
Put on your hiking shoes and pack up your water because we are going to the peak! If
you truly want to embrace nature, Santiago has got you covered because it has mountains that
you can hike or trek. One example is the “Tapaw” located in the borders of barangay Olo-olo Sur
and Salincub. All your energy will be replenished after you reach the top because you will be
rewarded by a serene and spectacular sight where you can see most of the entirety of Santiago.
From the wondrous sights and delicious local delicacies, you will surely be surprised
what Santiago has to offer. So what are you waiting for? Plan your trip and pack your bags
because Santiago will welcome you with open arms. Go go go Santiago!
