COFGA’s application for accreditation from the Sangguniang Panlalawigan was finally approved during its regular session last February 11, 2008, this according to Mr. Barimbao, our Vice-President.
Details will follow as soon as I get a complete and thorough information from him when we will meet on our regular monthly meeting on the second Saturday of March.
Please keep posted.
I had to excuse myself from our monthly meeting scheduled last June 2, 2007 for the reason I’m sure every father would understand. A day before, at exactly 2:15 a.m. in the morning my first-born child was delivered thru CS by a team of competent doctors from Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital. I have had lots of happy moments in my life but becoming a father for the first time is beyond compare. So I savored every minute of it.
Hmm……..wait. Let me think.
Okay. Where are we going? Where do we go from here? Chaos or community? Of course, nobody wants chaos. Who does?
Not so long ago, one of our members asked me where our Association is heading for? I didn’t know if his question really needed an answer. More so, I didn’t know if he wanted me to answer it. I was really caught off guard. Before I could say anything, he clarified that it was ambiguous to him as to the objective of COFGA. Indeed, he really wanted an answer from someone. I looked around. I couldn’t see someone else close to his ears. So I surmised he was talking to me.
Organic farming has been practised probably since man learned to cultivate the soil for food. That means thousands of years ago. Sure, ancient civilisations such as the Sumerians, Mesopotamians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Chinese, Elamites, didn’t have any idea as to what nitrate or phosphate or sulfate was. Neither did they know what organic elements were such as nitrogen, potassium or phosphorous.
The method of farming that came to be known today as ‘conventional farming’ was actually not introduced until the wartime world where food was scarce. In order to feed the millions of hungry populations, especially during and after WWII, food production should be quick and abundant. Thus the introduction of synthetic fertilizers and farm mechanizations..
Almost the whole Christendom is celebrating the passion of Jesus Christ on the cross today. To most of us, Catholics, today is the day of forgiving, penance and reflection. To forgive those who sin against us seems like a hard thing to do, but when you realize that the son of God died on the cross for our sins, we have no reason at all why we can’t do the same to fellow mortals.
May everyone have a blessed Good Friday!
Praise to You, oh, Lord Jesus Christ!
To all Christians, especially to Roman Catholics, let’s observe Holy Week with prayers and may His sufferings on the cross will enlighten us more to be stronger in our faith in Him.
May his death on the cross teaches us the value of one’s life.
Have a solemn Holy Week celebration to all!
Sorry guys, I seem to have the dominant control of this blogsite and blame it to my being a techie of sort. So I tend to post more often here and enjoy the liberty of writing anything that pleases me, er, everybody. But what else do you expect from someone who created this blogsite in the first place? Of course, try to keep this virtual journal going. Otherwise, nobody won’t care to read our blog. Worst of all, they will forever ignore us. God, forbid!

It was funny to note that our association has a roster of more than a hundred members but only less than fifteen of us know our membership. I don’t know what happen to those guys since the formation of our association in July of 2006. Whether they lost their cellphones or simply ignored our texts and calls, we can’t surmise as to the reasons of their inability to give us a feedback just to give us a hint of life.
