Yesterday, the Internal Audit Service conducted a survey on the implementation of Halina't Magtanim ng Prutas at Gulay (HAPAG) sa Barangay Project Ordinance in Brgys. Abgao, Asuncion, Isagani, Ibarra, Ma. Clara and Pasay.
This Ordinance prescribes each barangay whether situated in the rural or uban area to establish their own community garden. Also, households in every barangay, public schools are also mandated to establish their own vegetable garden.
IAS informed the barangays to coordinate with the City Agriculture Office for the reporting, provision of seedlings and fertilizers and the conduct of orientation, seminars and trainings for the development and proper care of the barangay community gardens. Also, they should ensure that children who are malnourished or stunted are the primary beneficiaries of the harvested vegetables.
