Last Tuesday, January 8, Permaculture Research PH (PRPH) premiered its first video blog (vlog) episode on its YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. 

The first episode entitled, Permaculture Design Using Coconuts, features Nenieveh "Weng" and Bittie Glinoga of Glinoga Organic Farm in Pitogo, Quezon. 

The 4-minute vlog briefly discussed how the farm was able to maximize its abundant coconut resources to create multi-functional compost bins, berms, and beehives. 

As of this writing, the video has been shared 65 times on Facebook. 

Each vlog episode features a different theme highlighting a specific permaculture design principle. The themes for the vlogs include design ideas, farm tours, and interviews. Episode 1 is an example of a "design idea" using the principle of 'observe and interact.'

The vlogs are hosted and narrated in Filipino (with corresponding subtitles) by researchers, Ara Bagunu and Jabez Flores. 

Upcoming vlogs will premier on YouTube and Facebook at 8 PM every Tuesday and Thursday. Season 1 is scheduled to have 16 episodes from January to February 2019. 

PRPH would like to acknowledge the contributions of our cameramen (Brian Sulicipan, Michael Reyes, Jr., Erickson Tabayag), drone operators (Jim Cano, Dada Mercado), researchers (Seaver Choy, Sherry Anne Gocheco), reviewers (Cesar Ilao, Myrna Flores), and respondents for making this vlog series possible.
