The launching program started with the schools and OGPI employees as partners to start the program.

Activities of the seminar includes nutrition talk by OGPI clinic staff Mary Bajita. Proper food intake for the body on fruits and vegetables was discussed. Mike Serafica and Monico Baustista from the Allied Botanical Enterprize who were invited by OGPI conducted the seminar on vegetable production and soil testing. Vegetable production includes correct way of planting, season to plant , fertilization and harvest techniques to prolong lifespan of plants. Common nutritious vegetables for the table and can easily be grown in due time, any where were presented. After the lecture, actual demo on proper seeding and soil testing was done in the OGPI nursery.


The nineteen participants were thankful for this seminar because they learned a lot. Though some of the participants have been planting some vegetables, they accepted that they have been doing the wrong process. Through this seminar, everyone was challenged and inspired to do backyard gardening. Some are even planning to do large scale gardening with the knowledge learned.

Lucita Exconde explained to the participants that OGPI wants to promote this program. In this regard, vegetable seeds were purchased ready for those who have ready areas to be planted. In addition, a vegetable nursery will be established where seedlings will be grown ready for distribution to ready and able planters. The Didipio Green Valley Institute who says they are ready will be the first recipients of vegetable seeds and seedlings.

ITOGON, BENGUET MEDICAL MISSION FOR THE VICTIMS OF TYPHOON PEPENG
OCTOBER 15, 2009


Bua Training Center at Itogon, Benguet is the site of an evacuation center for the victims of the big landslide at Luneta Hill and surrounding areas within the Municipality of Itogon, Benguet.

The total number of families affected by the landslide was 88. About 69 families lost their homes and their source of livelihood. Most of these families were formerly employed by the mining company that operated in Itogon. Most of these are still engaged in small scale mining activities.

The Medical – Dental Mission

OceanaGold initiated the medical mission in partnership with the Provincial and Municipal Health Offices of the province of Itogon, Benguet.

The health offices were very thankful of this initiative as most of the assistance given to the typhoon victims did not include medicines.

The Provincial and Municipal Health Offices mobilized all their available staff even on short notice. It so happened that several MHOs from other municipalities were stranded in Baguio and La Trinidad Benguet so when called upon by their Provincial head they readily responded.

The Department of Health and Provincial Health Office took this opportunity to bring their services to the people. These included laboratory services such as urinalysis and total blood counts.

Distribution of vitamins to children was likewise done by representatives of the Department of Health.

Jollibee Foods Corporation brought their mascot to entertain the children (Oct 14) and provided some of the meals for the medical mission team.

This mission provided OceanaGold the opportunity to network with other entities who share the company's commitment to help people.
