Indigenization of School Curriculum

The Philippines is rich in cultural heritage in various field like historical events, places, people, traditional beliefs and values, produce and products all over the archipelago.

Along this premise, the Department of Education "aims to make the curriculum responsive to the needs of the people in various locations of the country." To this effect, therefore, education program specialists of different region had come up with a series of local data and pieces of information in a seminar/workshop of local curriculum integration.

Fruits Are God's Bounty

A day before the year 2013 sets, I go early to the market place to take some pictures of the different fruits from different kind of trees. I am able to document a huge of stock of these fruit trees produce.

I have realized that the bounty of fruits that the Lord has given us to survive our existence here on this earth is one of the important things we should be thankful to Him They are for our subsistence. They are good food. They are like meat, good to eat. They are sweet to taste.

God has created everything including these different fruits from different kind of fruit bearing trees.

In the Bible, we found it there: "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." (Genesis 1:11)
