GUINDARUHAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

It is one of the Public Learning Institutions in the Municipality of Minglanilla, Cebu Province Division. The school is situated in Proper Guindaruhan, Minglanilla, Cebu with a total land area of 20,001 square meters or 2 hectares. The school site was acquired through Proclamation No. 529 by the President of the Republic of the Philippines, Malacañan Palace, Manila, last February 21, 1990 (occupying a lot no. 7409). The school is found 10 kilometers away from the National Road and 50 meters away from the Barangay Road. Cebuano is the principal dialect in the locality.

Guindaruhan National High School: Launching of the National Greening Program (NGP)



Guindaruhan National High School teaching and non-teaching personnel led by their school head Dr. Ermetes Adolfo Jr. participated in the launch of the National Greening Program on Saturday, June 25, 2011 in Barangay Guindaruhan, Minglanilla, Cebu. The GNHS delegation planted fruit-tree seedlings around the vicinity of the school where the semi-forested land is situated.


The National Greening Program is in accordance with Executive Order No. 26 signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III on February 24, 2011. It is one of government's priority programs geared in attaining sustainable development for poverty reduction, food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

It also consolidates and harmonizes all greening efforts such as Upland Development Program, Luntiang Pilipinas, and similar initiatives of the government, civil society and private sector under a National Greening Program.

NGP aims to plant some 1.5 billion trees covering about 1.5 million hectares of the country's public domains such as the forestlands, mangrove, and protected areas, among others, within a six-year period, from 2011 to 2016.

The National Greening Program (NGP) is intended for: forest for people, poverty reduction, resource conservation and protection, productivity enhancement, climate change mitigation and adaptation (see MSPowerpoint presentation).

Division of Cebu Province led by Dr. Arden D. Monisit called on the school heads and the focal persons for the immediate implementation of the NGP and sent Division Coordinator and Supervisor Mr. Romualdo D. Abella and Mrs. Corazon Pumar to lecture at once regarding the program. In Division Memo No. 239 s. 2011 stated that in line with Executive Order No. 26, signed by His Excellency Pres. Benigno S. Aquino III on February 24, 2011--Re: Implementation of the National Greening Program (NGP), students, government employees, private sectors and civil society groups are required to plant and grow a minimum of ten (10) trees per year. For further information, please see attached MSpowerpoint presentations during the 1-day seminar as follows:

  • 1. Final National Greening Program;
  • 2. Gulayan sa Paaralan;
  • 3. How to Plant Tree Seedlings;
  • 4. PNOY 1 Billion Tree;
  • 5. Monitoring Report on VG;
  • 6. District Form Summary;
  • 7. District Implementation Plan; and
  • 8. Teacher Form Summary. 
 
Dr. Monisit said in his Memo that all DepEd employees (teaching and nonteaching) of the Division of Cebu Province shall conduct a tree planting activity in their respective schools on June 25, 2011. Utilization of school lots should be priority planting sites, but for those with limited space, coordination with Local Government Unit (LGU) is required. However, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) duly signed by the Schools Division Superintendent and the lot donor is needed for those utilizing private lots.

What's your notion of the perfect vacation? For many people, it's spending days on the pool, listening to the splash waves pounding on the water. And if you're a swimming pool-lover, sooner or later you'll find yourself somewhere where Filipino is spoken. Pools are awesome! What could be better than a dip in the pool and fun in the sun? But remember the pool's sides and bottom are usually made of concrete, and rock-hard materials. A slip or fall could be painful and dangerous. So, we have to be very careful. Splashing, wading, and paddling — it must mean a great day in the water. Playing at the beach, at a water park, by a lake, or in a pool can be a real treat on a hot day.

The place represents the beauty of nature...hey, my name is J-han. I used to spend my holidays on the swimming pool. There is a beautiful pool in my hometown. It takes approximately 2 hours from the rural area by car to reach it. I used to go there with my family and sometimes with my friends also. By all accounts, swimming is a lot of fun, but drowning is a real danger. Even kids like me and my sister who know how to swim can drown so, let's be careful and find out how to stay safe in the water.

According to research study, cold winters and cool summers caused by the air masses result in extreme temperature variations and a low energy budget for the plant communities found here. Most of the precipitation occurs during warm months, and the air and soils are moist in comparison to the non-forested landscapes. Soils that have developed from glacial till and loess now thinly overlay the Philippine shield. Species that succeed in this environment have adaptations that economize on energy--both temperature and sunlight--and on nutrient requirements. This adaptation avoids the necessity for producing a full crop of new leaves every spring, and it also allows photosynthesis for extended periods of the year. Species that occur in the boreal hardwoods, such as trembling aspen, balsam poplar and paper birch, have special adaptations to withstand temperatures below -30° Fahrenheit.

Further research study said that the canopy layer of a forest community may be seen as being the primary buffer between atmospheric conditions and the communities below; it bears the brunt of wind and temperature extremes, and is the first beneficiary of sunlight. Forest pine canopies may be dominated by coniferous, deciduous, or mixed coniferous-hardwood species. forest pine communities are characteristic of the cold area. After a disturbance in the coniferous forest, such as logging or burning, the canopy opening favors deciduous species, with their higher rates of photosynthesis. Aspen and paper birch pioneer such areas, and they may in turn be followed by mixed hardwood and coniferous trees in a zone of intergrading communities. Pine hardwood stands of basswood, yellow birch, and associated species develop on mesic uplands. On drier sites in the south and west portions of the forest, pine communities are more common.

In addition to the research, beneath the canopy layer, shrubs vary locally in density. Seedlings and saplings of canopy pine trees bide their time in the shade; when a canopy tree falls, these young trees inherit the sunlight they need to succeed to canopy status themselves. Shrub-level species include beaked hazel, mountain maple, honeysuckle, and dogwood, along with others associated with specific soils and canopies. Variation of shrub density within the forest significantly affects the habitat and diversity of animal species.
