Webinar with UP Horticultural Society--Our Last for 2020!


Last Saturday, we were invited by the UP Horticultural Society in their weekly webinar entitled "Agventure with HortSoc: An Agricultural Webinar." The show was hosted by HortSoc members, Ronald and Dominique. Special thanks to Rae Michael for inviting us and to Rhesa for referring us to HortSoc. 

The web show did not have a time limit and we thought that we were given enough time to share our research and talk about permaculturists and their work in the Philippines. And for the first time, we were able to talk about the permaculture map project that we are currently doing. Hopefully this would encourage more people to visit the farms and projects and conduct research of their own. The audience also asked very good questions and we had a great time trying to answer them. We still don't know a lot about permaculture so we encourage you to keep asking questions and continue being critical of the concept.

We've had a fair amount of webinars this year and we're truly grateful to all the people and organizations who have invited us. There is still so much to share and to learn. So now, we will focus on finishing our research project this year so we can share new findings next year in 2021!

PRPH Team Interviewed in Episode 2 of #ProEarthChats Web Series



Last Saturday, November 7, Malvin and Jabez of PRPH were interviewed on a new web series called #ProEarthChats. The show hosted by environmental advocate, Mr. Anton Antonio, is a project of Pro-EARTH Crusaders--an environmental advocacy page on Facebook. 

In the episode, Malvin talked about his experience as an Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist/researcher and how he uses it for creating risk assessment maps. Jabez, on the other hand, introduced the audience to the concept of permaculture design and how it can be applied in the context of the new normal. 

We thank Mr. Anton and the Pro-EARTH Crusaders for giving us an opportunity for sharing our research work. Thank you also to all our friends, family, and colleagues who watched. If you missed it, you can watch the full episode here. 

#ProEarthChats is produced by The Rabbithole Studio. Special thanks to Monty Antonio for producing the show and introducing us to Discord
