00:00It's not a mountain of garbage, but a vegetable garden that is the life of this vegetable garden in Bayatas.
00:07The one who led it was an OFW.
00:11Do you need vegetables for the day?
00:13You don't have to go to the market anymore because here in this garden, the vegetables are free.
00:21You can choose from free water spinach, eggplant, okra, mustard, and many more.
00:31Where can you find that?
00:36Here in Bayatas, Quezon City, people say that it's all you want.
00:44Welcome to OFW Natural Organic Garden.
00:48Thank you for the blessing.
00:51Yay!
00:55The founder and former overseas Filipino worker of OFW, Rosalyn Oroz, is the leader of this good vibes farm.
01:04She worked in the Middle East for 10 years before she decided to come home and become a full-time plantista.
01:12I personally talked to her.
01:14Why did you decide to enter organic farming from becoming an OFW?
01:19We didn't have anything to worry about.
01:22Because of the pandemic?
01:23Yes.
01:24I love gardening and plants.
01:28My friends and I talked about gardening.
01:35But why did you let go of being an OFW?
01:37The income is higher there, right?
01:39Yes, the income is higher there.
01:41But I wanted to stay with my children because they are still young.
01:46That's why I left them.
01:47I couldn't take care of them.
01:49What was the event that convinced you the most?
01:53That my daughter will graduate from college.
01:55Because she's already working.
01:57She has a lot of dreams for us.
02:00She said, I'm going to be a mother.
02:02The lot that was planted by the farm was just borrowed from them.
02:07They also pay the cost of water consumption for irrigation here.
02:11Farming here in Metro Manila is challenging, right?
02:16Because your space is limited.
02:18Yes.
02:19But because we are talking to the owner of the land, we borrowed it.
02:25It looks like you heard the sound of the free vegetables coming out of Rose's farm.
02:29The heartthrob, Angeo Petierra.
02:33Good morning, Rose.
02:35Good morning, sir.
02:36What's in front of us?
02:38This is the composting that we do to make our plants look good.
02:42These are their vitamins.
02:44They will be their vitamins.
02:45Because Rose's plants are organic, her crops are also all-natural.
02:50These are the plants that are rotting.
02:53We mix them.
02:54Oh, they are also plants, sir?
02:56Yes, plants, fruits.
02:57Yes.
02:58The ones that are already rotting, for example, we get them from the market.
03:04Before you get the vegetables, you have to work hard, Angeo.
03:07Your first task is to carry the compost bags.
03:12I will go to the farm because I will be planting.
03:15That's really heavy. Let's see if you can do it.
03:17Thank you.
03:18I will carry it.
03:19Let's see if you can do it.
03:21You can do it, sir.
03:23Oh, it's heavy.
03:26Let's go.
03:28Rose, this is our farm, right?
03:31Yes, this is the gardening.
03:33That's just the first task, Angeo.
03:35You also start planting.
03:39I will just put it on the ground.
03:40Yes.
03:41We will just cut it.
03:42Yes, just cut it.
03:45Now, we will water the plants.
03:47After planting the mustard, we will move on to Angeo's third task.
03:53But with a twist.
03:55Angeo needs to harvest the vegetables within one minute.
04:00So, Angeo, are you ready?
04:02Are you ready?
04:03Timer starts now!
04:05I'm still competitive.
04:08Go, Angeo! You still have a lot to harvest.
04:11There are no more questions.
04:12Timer, timer, timer.
04:19These are all big.
04:20These are all big.
04:31Within one minute, this is how much I harvested.
04:34What can you say?
04:35You already harvested a lot.
04:37But you need to clean it before you put it here.
04:40Because I already harvested earlier.
04:42I think Angeo's tasks are never-ending for today.
04:44He harvests, he cleans.
04:47Sir, this is how you clean it.
04:48You need to remove the roots.
04:50The roots?
04:51Yes.
04:52Then, you need to cut it.
04:53Is this okay?
04:54Did I do it right?
04:55Yes, you did it right.
04:56It's clean now.
04:57Can we still eat this?
04:58Yes, you can eat it.
05:00We will grill it.
05:02Which one do you prefer, the big one or the small one?
05:03The big one.
05:04The big one, okay.
05:06Now, there are more than 40 members in the group of Rose.
05:10Some of them are former OFWs who are not from other countries anymore.
05:15And they chose to plant here.
05:17One of them is Nelmalin.
05:21Our daily gardening helped our family.
05:24We were able to buy vegetables that we don't need anymore.
05:28And it's organic.
05:30We were able to buy around 20% of what we need.
05:32Because rice is expensive now.
05:34That's what we really need to buy.
05:36Aside from their personal consumption, they also sell their products here.
05:40We also sell our products at a market price.
05:42But we know how to give more than the market price.
05:46Even though we are directly here at the farm.
05:48It's like we are taking care of ourselves every day to be healthy.
05:51We will give more rice so that we can sustain our family.
05:57Meanwhile, Anjo is ready to sell the vegetables that he harvested earlier.
06:02We will try to sell all of these to help Rose.
06:06So, come with me.
06:07Let's see if we can finish this today.
06:10Let's go!
06:12Hello!
06:13How are you?
06:15Do you have anything to sell?
06:17No, we don't.
06:18This is perfect. We have okra.
06:19It's only P10.
06:20This is our water spinach.
06:21It's only P10.
06:22Do you have P10?
06:23You should buy it so that I can go home.
06:25It's like a toll gate.
06:28Okra.
06:29This is your favorite.
06:30You should buy it for me.
06:31I will buy it when you buy it from me.
06:33I want eggplant.
06:34Eggplant?
06:35Wait a minute.
06:36If you buy it now, you will get back P10.
06:39Thank you very much.
06:40Of course, not all of our vegetables will be sold because some of them will be given for free.
06:48Sister, do you know how to estimate the price of vegetables for kids?
06:52Do you have anything to sell later tonight?
06:54You don't? Do you have P10?
06:55I don't have P10.
06:56You don't have it?
06:57I don't have it.
06:58Ok, but this is for you.
06:59For me?
07:00Yes, this is for you.
07:01You're welcome.
07:02This is for Baby.
07:04I don't think we can make it in one hour.
07:06And because of Anjo's vegetables, it's almost sold out.
07:10It's only P50.
07:11Ok.
07:12Thank you very much, Sister.
07:14This is for you.
07:15This is for you. Congratulations!
07:18And because of that, you're mission accomplished, Anjo.
07:22In organic farming, what did you learn that you can apply?
07:28Be patient.
07:30Just be patient because sometimes it's hard.
07:34But just think that the day will come when your hard work will bear fruit.
07:42And that's it, Ma'am.
07:45I'm so happy that I was able to experience for a day being a driver.
07:51It's not a joke, but it's fulfilling especially when you know what you're giving to your family.
07:57That's why, Miss Vicky, our challenge is successful.
08:01Good job!
08:02I think this can be used for Sigang, right?
08:05Planting vegetables is a simple discard to save on daily expenses.
08:11It's profitable.
08:13You can share it with others.
08:15This is for you.
08:16For me?
