A View From The Side, By FAH: Tunnel Vision?

 

You don't know me as a photographer. Here, I want to highlight my photographic "tunnel vision" that I acquired from my readings and views of master painters some 50 years ago at the library of Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City.

PH Aggie Plan – Only Isko Moreno Is Thinking & Talking Somewhat About It!

Image
Displaying favored colors literally and loudly in rallies, hundreds if not thousands of followers of Bongbong Marcos (red) , Isko Moreno (blue) , and Leni Robredo (pink) show seemingly slow-burning support – but I’m not excited because no candidate is talking about a fiery archipelagic-wide plan for the whole country! (inset aggie image s [1] from Aciar.gov.au ) Nobody has expressed any PH Vision in the next 25 years at least – and I firmly believe: “Kung wala kang Bisyon, puro ka lang Ambisyon!” (“If you have no Vision, you are only pure Ambition!”) And: Only Isko Moreno is talking about agriculture, he who has risen from among garbage food-seekers in Manila. So he talks about a “Long-Term Plan Para Sa Agrikultura Ng Bansa” on Facebook (“Long-Term Plan for the Country’s Agriculture” – my translation) on 27 Nov 2021. He says: Let us pursue a medium and long-term plan and fund to boost the Philippines' agricultural sector. Bigyan natin ng kapanatagan ang mga magsasaka at mangin...

Thesis: “Why Organic Farming Does Not Best Address Climate Change” – Genetic Literacy Project, American. Antithesis: “Why Organic Farming Does!” – Frank A Hilario, Filipino. Synthesis – American Farmers Are Abusing Organic Farming!

About organic agriculture (OA): Are you anti-OA? I am pro-OA. Are you scientific? Yes. And so am I! On 30 March 2022, I saw the Facebook sharing of Filipino science thinker Benigno Peczon: “Viewpoint: Organic Farming Best Addresses Climate Change? Why The Popular Consensus Is Wrong – And Why GE Crops Should Be Agriculture’s Future” ( Henry Miller & Kathleen Hefferon , 23 March 2022, geneticliteracyproject.org ). The authors are writing for the Genetic Literacy Project (GLP); Here’s the Thesis; the GLP authors say: A prevalent “green myth” about organic agriculture is that it does not employ pesticides. Organic farming does, in fact, use insecticides and fungicides to prevent predation of its crops. American OA employs chemicals to grow foods with the label “Organic” – what?! Americans are crazy! Filipino, I am a BS Agriculture graduate of UP Los Baños (1965) and a very wide digital reader since 1997. For myself, I discovered organic agriculture in 1966 in the open shelves of t...

Richard Tantoco For PH Native Forests, My Unbelievable Pinoy Million Tree Man!

Image
“EDC’s COO Richard B Tantoco talks of his personal and professional journey with his love for nature [1] ” ( Energy.com. ph). Love for nature. During the Age of Dinosaurs (large typewriters), I was a very busy Editor In Chief of the Forest Research Institute (FORI), now Ecosystems Research & Development Bureau, from 1975 to 1981, busy founding & writing & editing for FORI’s 3 regular publications – monthly newsletter Canopy , quarterly technical journal Sylvatrop and quarterly color magazine Habitat (that I patterned after the US National Geographic ). Nonetheless, Mr Tantoco surprises me that, ever since, I have never met a Million Tree Man like him! And native PH trees at that! He writes (“Seeing Green”): I have two dreams. The first is a personal one, and that is to plant a million Philippine native trees in five years. I still don’t have a business model for this endeavor right now, but maybe at some point I can sell some of the seedlings and create an eco-tourism ve...
