In his message of support, Mayor Benjamin Magalong encourages Baguio’s young changemakers to take part in the 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 (𝐘𝐂𝐀𝐅) – 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐨, a global initiative supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies that provides 𝐔𝐒$𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐨 𝐔𝐒$𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 for youth-led, community-based climate projects.

Co-organized by WWF-Philippines through the 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 initiative and the 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗧 - Baguio Youth Innovation Hub, in coordination with the Baguio City Planning, Development, and Sustainability Office and DepEd Baguio City, the activity strengthened educators’ understanding of sustainability and explored practical ways to integrate these principles into teaching and school communities.

For SIGLAT, investing in educators is an important part of investing in the youth. Teachers play a critical role in shaping how young people understand emerging challenges, develop solutions, and participate in creating more sustainable and resilient communities.

Through meaningful discussions, classroom integration activities, and collaborative exercises, the program encouraged educators to translate sustainability concepts into learning experiences that can empower young people to become more informed, innovative, and engaged citizens.
As Baguio continues to pursue climate action and sustainable development, strengthening educators' capacity creates a lasting pathway for youth participation and community impact.

PANSA-NOPEN TAYO | The 3rd Pansa-nopen Tayo Barangay-to-Barangay Learning Session officially commenced on July 31, 2026, at the DENR Training Centre, DENR Compound, Gibraltar, Baguio City. The activity was spearheaded by the City Planning, Development, and Sustainability Office (CPDSO) in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Global Gateway, the European Union (EU), Liga ng mga Barangay– Baguio City Chapter and the Department of the Interior and Local Government–Baguio.

The learning session featured a series of presentations focused on promoting organics circularity and sustainable waste management. Dr. Marjorie Balay-as, LGU and Stakeholder Engagement Specialist of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), discussed the EU-PH Green Economy Partnership Framework for Organics Circularity. Mr. Patrick Carl Darato, Agriculturist of the City Veterinary and Agriculture Office (CVAO), introduced participants to the Science of Composting.

Participants also learned about various organics circularity technologies from resource speakers, including Bokashi Composting by Ms. Rina T.

Verdant Spires launched its Community Greenhouse in collaboration with the Cordilleran Youth Center, Innabuyog Metro Baguio, DomeGarden, City Planning (SIGLAT), Department of Education and the Schools Division Office of Baguio City, Sto. Tomas Barangay, Sto. Tomas Elementary School and Sto. Tomas High School on July 18, 2026 at Santo Tomas Elementary School.

The organization is made up of students of the University of the Cordilleras taking Digital Marketing with Team Leader Russel Allen D. Treptor, SIGLAT Interns, Communications and Marketing Manager Anny Carl D. Tegwa and Operations Manager Brianna G. Encarnaccion leading the project.

At the project launch, every organization member delivered a message to give thanks and appreciation to those who helped them on the project.

“Baguio communities are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of producing food closer to where people live. Climate change disruptions in supply chains, increasing transportation costs, and rapid urbanization all remind us that food security is not solely an agricultural concern; it is a community concern,” Treptor said.

Through the project, these concerns can be solved by using farming technology where communities can cultivate crops even if they live in urban spaces.

“By using vertical farming technology, the greenhouse demonstrates that food can be produced efficiently even with limited urban space. Rather than depending entirely on conventional farming methods, the project showcases how technology can supplement local food production while significantly reducing land requirements and improving water efficiency,” he added.

The project not only serves as a community food chain but also a learning space for the youth on how modern agricultural systems function; where they can be part of the operations not as beneficiaries but as partners and can see their career path in the future for aspiring agricultural innovators, environmental leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.

Treptor explained: “Instead of learning only theory, they can develop practical experience. We believe this experiential learning model creates stronger understanding, while making education more engaging and memorable.”

Meanwhile, Tegwa gave special thanks to all organizations that supported and guided them in the project including the Safe and Sound Cities Programme implemented by the Cordilleran Youth Center and City Planning, Development and Sustainability Office (CPDSO), Sto. Tomas Elementary School and Sto. Tomas High School.

They look forward to future partnerships with the City Veterinary Agriculture Office (CVAO) as well as Chestcore Cordillera.

Encarnacion, for her part, talked about the process of the greenhouse, how it works and how this project helps the students, community, schools, community members, partner organizations, and volunteers.

“Verdant Spires is more than a greenhouse. It is a living space where sustainable agriculture, education and community participation come together to create a lasting environmental and social impact through innovation, collaboration and shared responsibility. It demonstrates how communities can grow not only food, but also knowledge, resilience and a more sustainable future,” she stressed.- Mary Joyce Adanglao PIO-Baguio Intern/gabykeith
