For quite a number of years now, Teacher's teacher is able to receive a calendar from Land Bank through Rica Joy Guillermo Aguilar. The bank's calendar is always displayed in prominent places because its design is really well thought of. It is no wonder then that the calendar of 2010 is another piece of art. Have you seen it?

For us in the academe especially those who teach Peace Education, Agriculture and its related fields, Social Studies, perhaps Literature,can find in this year's calendar a good instructional material. On its cover it states: " . . . Landbank's 2010 calendar takes us to the heart of some of the country's forests to give us a closer view of six species of trees commonly grown - in our hopes to encourage one and all to plant and propagate trees of every kind. . . Landbank urges us to listen closely to the murmurs echoing in the country's forests and heed their call for preservation; for if we only do as much as listen to the wind, we would hear them beckoning us to do our share."

Teacher's teacher has a son who is a photographer (Remember the blog in Malaybalayan where www.BonAserios.com photographs Malaybalayan?) so we will solicit his feedback about the healthy seedling which stands small at the moment and gradually grows tall, taller and tallest either as Narra, Agoho,Mahogany, Mangium, Bagras or Falcata trees.

The quotations cited by Landbank are worth noting: "There is always music amongst the trees in the garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. - Minnie Aumonier". "He who plants a tree, plants a hope - Lucy Larcom"

To Landbank Management: Congratulations for a super calendar which gives not only months and numbers but also deep ideas and ideals urgently needed by every Filipino.

Have you seen Landbank's calendar of 2010?
