Let's Go, Pitogo!

​Aug. 31 - Sept. 2.
Some brief reflections: 
  • Permaculture is not just about farming...it's a life you live. It's not just about the application of knowledge but the internalization of values.
  • The designer and the design have a close relationship. Through experience and observation, the design evolves through time. 
  • People are part of the design. Every living thing is part of the design. Even typhoons are a welcome part of life. 
  • Nature has a way of organizing itself and the designer must understand how nature works. 
  • Permaculture design "follows the water". Where there's water, there's life. 
  • Permaculture is planned "katam" or "katamaran" in Filipino. Once the system is in place, there isn't much work to do. 
  • Glinoga Organic Farm opened our eyes to a lot of things. We don't even know where to start. Food is so abundant and creativity is overflowing. And the people in the farm really know what they're doing. 
  • Thank you to our gracious hosts, Nenieveh Fortun Glinoga and Bittie Glinoga and the staff for taking care of our team. This was a truly memorable experience for us. 
  • Watch out for PRPH Vlog Episode 1: Glinoga Organic Farm on January 2019. 
  • Our full report will be available by 2019.
