00:00Para sa mga kababayan nating certified plantito at plantita,
00:04ano nga ba ang dapat alamin para makapagsimula at makapag-alaga
00:07ng sariling tanim, kahit sa limited lamang na espasyo?
00:11Para talakay ng mga tips sa container at vertical gardening,
00:16kasama natin si Michael Forcado and Evelyn Forcado live from Doha, Qatar.
00:21Welcome po sa Rise and Shine, Pilipinas.
00:24Good morning.
00:25Hello, magandang araw po sa inyong lahat.
00:28Michael, Evelyn, nandiyan ba si Evelyn?
00:30Evelyn, Rise and Shine.
00:32Ay, nandiyan ba si Evelyn?
00:35Sama mo na si Evelyn.
00:36Ayun.
00:37Hi, Evelyn.
00:38Akala ko may pasurprise.
00:40Baka may intermission number.
00:41Ano pong oras din sa Doha ngayon?
00:42Oo nga, ano oras dyan?
00:45It's 1.34am dito sa Doha, Qatar.
00:49Patulog pa lang.
00:50Sana okay kayo dyan, ha?
00:52Anyway, kwentuhan nyo naman kami sa inyong journey sa pag-garden
00:55kasi may page rin kayo, ha?
00:58Well, almost a million yung followers nyo.
01:02So, para nagsimulang interest nyo sa pagkatanim?
01:06So, ako personally, let me take you back to the Philippines.
01:10Nung ako ay nasa Pilipinas, lumipat kami sa Pampanggap coming from Manila.
01:15And then, sa harap ng bahay namin ay may bahanting lotes.
01:18So, alam naman natin ng mga Filipinos, resourceful at madiskante.
01:22So, yung mother ko ay nag-start magtanim sa harap ng bahay namin.
01:26And then, doon ko natutunan yung mga tips and tricks about gardening.
01:32Kasi maroon na yung nanay ko.
01:34So, she's my greatest influence.
01:36Then, paglipat naman namin dito sa Qatar,
01:39walang ano dito, walang talagang soil na madaling pagtaniman.
01:44On the surface, mga buhangin.
01:46Kaya nga, disyerto, diba?
01:47And then, sa ilalim, matigas na lupa.
01:50Kaya, napaka-imposible talaga na magtanim.
01:54So, ang nangyari, when we transferred to a villa,
01:59kasi nag-re-rent lang kami dito,
02:01walang mga mahirap mag-purchase ng bahay kasi we are just OFWs.
02:07So, sa taas, kung nakikita nyo yung nasa screen,
02:10nag-ipon kami ng mga containers,
02:12and then, nag-composting kami ng mga recyclable materials, kitchen waste.
02:18And then, doon, dumami na yung mga tanim
02:22hanggang sa mga na-share na rin namin sa mga kapitbahay namin.
02:25Katuwa?
02:26So, si Evelyn yung nagluluto.
02:27Ano sabi ng mga kababay na mga kapitbahay ni John?
02:30Kasi, for sure, yung iba, parang, ano ba ito?
02:33Parang, dapat sampahin namin ito or area para mag-ano?
02:36Pero, mas ginamit na spasyo para magtanim.
02:39Sa inyo, anong sabi?
02:40As in, lahat ba?
02:41Very collaborative, na magtanim din.
02:44Tell us more.
02:46Yes, yes, yun ang maganda dito na
02:48when we say, mga Filipinos,
02:51we support each other.
02:53So, ang villa is, mayroong ground floor,
02:55mayroong first floor,
02:57asya kami yung nasa top floor,
02:58or yung rooftop, or roof deck.
03:01Ngayon, yung mga tao,
03:03yung mga kapitbahay namin,
03:04they utilize the ground floor.
03:07So, doon sila nakakapagsampay,
03:09doon sila nakakapag-garden din.
03:11Pero, sa rooftop, kami yung pinaka may access.
03:16Ayan, yung pinaka pader
03:19na nilagyan namin ng mga vertical spaces for gardening.
03:24At, yun, collaborative naman.
03:26Lalo na nung COVID.
03:27Mas naging kapakipakinabang yung space dito sa rooftop
03:32kasi we are able to share yung mga produce namin
03:36dito sa mga kapitbahay.
03:37So, kakatok lang kami.
03:38Tasabit namin yung mga plastic bags
03:41na mayroon ng mga tanim.
03:43Yan, yung mga petchay.
03:44And, we are one big family dito sa villa.
03:48Wow.
03:49Ang galing naman.
03:50So, they have the roof deck
03:51and everyone's nakikinabang
03:54doon sa mga gulay nila.
03:56Very nice.
03:57Para sa mga newbies naman,
03:58anong mga halaman yung madaling itanim
04:00at alagaan?
04:04Evelyn naman.
04:05Evelyn!
04:05Evelyn ang sasagot niyan.
04:08Ito, ano, actually, yung petchay, yung madaling patubuin.
04:12Actually, dito sa, ano, mga bata,
04:15tinuruan kasi lang magtanim.
04:17Ito yung kanilang sample produce.
04:20So, yung petchay,
04:23napakadaling itanim kasi
04:25kinabukasan,
04:26meron na siyang malit na sprout.
04:28And then, after a week,
04:29ito na siya.
04:30O, tingnan niyo po.
04:30Ang bilis pala.
04:31So, pwede na siyang i-transplant
04:33sa mga containers
04:34and even sa
04:36mga plots
04:37or sa mga raised beds.
04:39Pwede rin sa mga pipes
04:40or pwede rin sa
04:42hydroponics.
04:43Kung narinig nyo na yung hydroponics,
04:45yun yung pagtatanim
04:46na hindi ginagamitan ng lupa.
04:48So, nakasuspend sila.
04:50Yung roots ay
04:50nag-absorb ng nutrients
04:52dun sa tubig
04:54na may nakahalo na
04:57nutrients.
04:58So, sikat na rin yun
04:59yung hydroponics sa Pilipinas.
05:01And, tamang-tama yan
05:03dito sa Qatar
05:03kasi
05:04wala nga kaming space
05:06at saka
05:06walang lupa na mapagtataniman.
05:08Kaya, we utilize
05:09whatever is available.
05:12So, yung tubig
05:14abundant din naman dito kasi
05:15they provide it
05:17sa mga residents.
05:19Yun ang naging
05:20isang
05:21taraan namin
05:22para makapagtanim.
05:23Hydroponics
05:24and
05:24vertical gardening
05:25yung nakikita nyo dyan
05:26sa video.
05:28Not only taking care
05:29of the environment
05:30but also yung
05:32kamaradery
05:33doon
05:33sa area ninyo
05:34na panatili.
05:35I wonder ituloy
05:36baka pati ibang areas
05:37dyan, ibang villas
05:38nag-request na din
05:39na baka pwedeng turuan
05:40o tulungan nyo sila
05:41kung paano
05:42makapagtanim din
05:43for sure.
05:44I'm curious
05:44paano ninyo nalaman to
05:45or how did you get
05:46the knowledge
05:46to grow plants
05:48and vegetables?
05:51Yeah, so
05:52yun nga.
05:54Dahil may background
05:55ako sa Philippines
05:56ng pagdatanim,
05:58hinanap ko siya dito.
05:59I wanted to
06:00be able to plant
06:01kasi
06:03napakamahal
06:03ng mga gulay
06:04dito sa bansa na to.
06:05Kasi nga,
06:06disyento
06:06tsaka
06:07mostly yung mga
06:08vegetables
06:09are
06:10imported.
06:11If we are able
06:13to produce
06:13our own vegetables
06:14malaking katipiran
06:16yun
06:16sa pang-araw-araw.
06:18I research
06:18sa tulong din
06:20na aking may bahay.
06:21Siya yung taga-finance
06:22ko eh.
06:22Ako yun naman yung
06:23taga-isip
06:24ng paraan.
06:26nag-aaral ako sa videos
06:28ng
06:29hydroponics
06:29sa YouTube
06:31sa mga
06:31video
06:33tutorials
06:33na free
06:34naman
06:34sa internet.
06:36Napakadali
06:36lang naman
06:37sundan.
06:38Ang advice ko
06:39sa mga kababayan
06:40natin
06:40don't
06:41be afraid
06:42to try.
06:43Kasi wala naman
06:44talagang
06:45green thumb.
06:47Ang meron
06:48is yung merong
06:49perseverance.
06:50So you fail,
06:51you learn,
06:52at wala naman
06:52talagang
06:55nasasayang
06:55sa mga failures.
06:56Natututo ka
06:57and the next time
06:58ay-apply mo na yung
07:00natutunan mo
07:01dun sa
07:02mga failures.
07:03And then,
07:04yun na.
07:05Napakaganda
07:05lalo na
07:06in the morning
07:07kapag may mga
07:08bago ng bunga,
07:09may mga bagong
