In order to save us from death, God embarked on a dangerous mission: He introduced a "medicine of immortality" (St. Ignatius of Antioch) into our world of death - his Son Jesus Christ. The Father and the Son were inseparable in this mission, willing and yearning to take the utmost upon themselves out of love for man. God willed to make an exchange so as to save us forever. He wanted to give us his eternal life, so that we might experience his joy, and wanted to suffer our death, our despair, our abandonment, our death, so as to share with us in everything. So as to love us to the end and beyond. Christ's death is the will of the Father but not his final word. Since Christ died for us, we can exchange our death for his life. (YOUCAT)

creatureliness

The inner standard of human person:

We should see that human beings can never retreat into the realm of what they are capable of, therefore they themselves and creation with its good and evil are always present, and when they reject this standard they do not free themselves but place themselves in opposition to the truth. This then is the first and most important thing that appears in the story of Adam and it has to do with human guilt and with our entire existence. The order of the Covenant, the nearness of God of the Covenant, the limitation impose by Good and evil, the inner standard of the human person, creatureliness; all of these is placed in doubt. Here we could at once said that at the very heart of sin lies human being's denial of their creatureliness, they do not want to be creatures, do not want to subject to the standard, do not want to be dependent. They consider their dependence on God's creative love to be an imposition from without! Human beings who considered dependence on the highest love slavery and who tried to denied the truth about themselves which is their creatureliness, do not free themselves. They destroyed truth and love, they do not make themselves gods which in fact they cannot do but rather caricatures pseudo gods, enslaves with their own ability which then drag them down...

ORGANIC FARMING (Swiss-Culion)

The scarcity of vegetables produced in Culion resulted in the importation of different kinds of vegetables from Manila and Mindoro.

The middlemen/traders control the inflow and pricing of the products, which left the vendors with no option but to give in to their self-imposed high pricing of commodities.
                 
The local vegetable farmers tend to follow suit with the middlemen's suggested retail     pricing in order to compensate their expensive style of farming like the excessive usage of pesticides, herbicides and synthetic farm products thinking it will lead them to good yield of harvest.
                   
It is a common practice to the vegetable traders to add chemicals to the harvested crops and vegetables in order to have  a  longer shelf life.  This unabated practice makes it unhealthy and very dangerous to the  health of consumers.

The traditional farming practice makes the soil so stressed that it becomes acidic.  As a consequence, it loses its nutritional values and its capacity of sustaining growth to produce good harvest and yields.

The foregoing premises prompted the proponent to return to the basics, which is the natural, organic and environment friendly farming.

Description:
The proposed project is determined to implement the Organic Farm System, by using pure organic farming methods and techniques, which will lead to rejuvenating the soil and helping recover its nutrients, thus, enhancing growth and development of vegetables and root crops.
               
The project shall introduce biofertilizer and soil conditioner named Full Harvest Microbial Inoculant and Full Harvest Root and Leaf Fertilizer. It is a solid-based microbial  plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). They are root associated bacteria, which influence root growth by producing plant hormones and provide nutrients in soluble form. It is a totally organic composting accelerant formulated to initiate and accelerate the fermentive decomposition of organic waste.  

The project site will be in the island municipality of Culion , located in the     northern group of Calamian Islands  in the province of Palawan.

Fishing is one of the main sources of livelihood  in the municipality. Others derive their income as employees of government offices like Local     Municipality Unit, Department of Health, Department of Education, Culture and Sports, other governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, pearl farms, private island resort and hotels.
     
Agricultural farms are located in the central part of the island called Malaking Patag, a barangay comprised of different outlaying sitios/farms.  The rice farmers/vegetable growers rely on rain as their irrigation feed ( sahod ulan system ) since there is no proper irrigation system in the area. Therefore, they only harvest their produce once a year.

The proponent shall lend them a capital  of Five Thousand pesos only (P 5,000.00) for each interested farmer in the form of farm implements such as vegetable seedlings and fertilizers. Payment shall be made after the produce has been marketed. Proceeds from the sale of the produce will augment family income of the vegetable growers and be able to sustain their source of livelihood.

The project proponent shall assist them in marketing their produce by tapping the retirees and senior citizens of the community. He shall also tap  the out of school youth (OSY) to vend the vegetables around the community.  This way, the OSY will be busy  and eventually become responsible residents of Culion.

Once the income has been  stabilized and return of investment becomes more than sufficient, the farmers may opt to venture into other agri business such as hog raising, goat farming and poultry raising.  The proponent will assist in the technical aspect of the chosen agri-business expansion.

Objective:  
To help the farmers recover from the destruction of properties brought about by the super typhoon Yolanda and make them self reliant  through the implementation of organic farming procedures and system...
