Organic Vegetable Pizza, Anyone? by: Jose Allan Sanchez Bartolo

Our  weekend  getaway  to Barangay  Mablad, Barbaza, Antique was   so exciting. Immersing ourselves  back to nature  was  so great.  Meeting  new  friends  too.  Indeed, it was  a  short  travel worth remembering.  We  were joined by the Mass  Communication Students  of  West Visayas State University.

Mablad  is an  interior, semi  upland  barangay, it has  a  road  network, there are   portions  that can be considered  as paved  road  but most of them are  rough road, this  is  where  the  local  government  must look into  especially that  transportation of  farm  produce  and  vice versa.  This is  where  the Greenwarrior Permaculture Field School  is located where  trainors  with  distinct  skills on their  own field  coming  from USA, Europe and other Asean  Countries  gathered  to  introduce  back to  basic  technology  that  really benefits  our  people while  conserving  our environment. 

This is where  we  discovered  Organic  Vegetable  Pizza  with 7  varieties  at the  moment.  Initial ingredients come  from  the  farm  and yet they  are  on the process  of planting and  producing  more to  sustain  its  production requirement.

 If  you  wish you  can stay  overnight on  their version of  Shangrila you can  make  arrangement with them too.  A  native  cottage  made of native  materials  from  Mablad

There  you will to know the  Man   who left the luxury  of the City life,  being  a  graduate of a prestigious school  yet prefered   to be in the community, thus  we  named  him  "green warrior".  His  advocacy  for the  environment  is  so inspiring.  He is  an  artist, singer, composer, organizer, dancer, tour guide  rolled into one.
