ADAPTIVE FARMING FOR AN ARCHIPELAGO
Disruptive events like wars, pandemics and calamities, result in problems of logistics principally transport. Food could not be moved as roads get blocked or due to shortage of fuel. The solution is to create village communities that are self sufficient so as to survive the effects of isolation. From several possibilities, iron bamboo farming and rabbit farming are offered as the main focus of an agricultural policy that is doable because the budget needed is small, they are environment friendly and sustainable. A policy of strengthening village communities is called for as a unit of social and economic organization. The adaptive farming being studied should be suitable to certain environments, preferably near university or state colleges which could provide guidance as well as site for demonstration of the feasibility of the proposed adaptive farming

I. Case Study I
Bamboo
Bamboo has various uses as food, lumber, material for handicraft, paper and fiber.
But a particular kind of bamboo, iron bamboo, is chosen for this case study for its durability, its use to mitigate soul erosion, since its roots pe*****te the soil vertically unlike other species whose roots spread horizontally. A study showed that planted around retaining ponds for mining areas, iron bamboo absorbs toxic metals such as cadmium and lead. while preventing erosion.
Proponents for the propagation of Iron bamboo led by the Mindadano Bamboo Network introduce a new argument …that when processed into pellets, it is a good substitute fuel for coal.
Machines to process iron bamboo into Pellets could be put everywhere where bamboo thrive… in islands and regions which otherwise would not be reached by transport and electricity. The cost of the machine varies… from Around 12,000 to 600,000 to 3 million pesos depending on the capacity and the availability of raw materials. The small pelletizer machine may be run by solar panels with storage batteries.
Iron Bamboo farming is most suitable for social communities such as those in Sierra Madre which had been deforested by logging and mining in the past until the present. Iron Bamboo grooves could be developed where embankments could be constructed in small streams or inclines, preventing thereby sudden surges of flood waters that destroy crops and habitation in lowlying areas and coastal villages along Manila Bay.

II. Case Study 2
Rabbit Farming
Using the principle of “economy of proximity” or adaptability where it works framework, or having the farming most adaptive to the environment, rabbit farming is being used as a metaphor for the several small scale backyard enterprises that include crayfish or shrimp farming, tilapia and hito as well as some others.
Village communities in Pangasinan where water is available can easily transition from bangus into hito farming. Aside from the availability of water the people are exposed to the culture of raising fish such as bangus.
Adaptability is the name of the game. A community in Bulacan which had been used to have backyard poultry chose pugo or quail farming. Chicken farming which cvorporate interests took over, made backyard poultry non-sustainable. With quail birds, only small house made of chicken wire were constructed. The feeds also were not as rxpensive as poultry feeds. The community also claimed having understood the market, mainly for the eggs and the culled birds later.

Why rabbit?
Just like the above examples, rabbit raising can be started with little capital investments. The start up kit with a pair of rabbits in a housing made of chicken wire is PhP 2,850. After 6 months, a litter of about 4 to 8 cubs are produced. The good thing about the rabbit is the capacity to survive with grass as food.
Just like other livestock, its excrements may be used as fertilizer or food for night crawlers to produce organic fertilizers.
The main argument however is that Rabbits had been recognized as a livestock just like cattle, under the Livestock Development Act. With this recognition, the Department of Agriculture had given assistance to rabbit growers including a grant of PhP3 million for research and development. One in Bulacan had been used to construct a modern state of the art facility where various species of rabbits are displayed. As a result, farm has become a virtual tourist destination for environmentalists who want to take a peep of the Rabbit Museum. Rabbit production can be scaled up because the demand is high abroad. It is halal food so it could be exported during Ramadan. Even top hotels had inquired into the possibility of supplying their kitschen. The problem however is for an agency of the government certifying the method of butchering according to internationaol standards. The certification had not been accomplished by the DA up to now.

Conclusion
Village communities
Small village communities as the unit of social organization had been in the mind too of Dr. Rizal in 1892 when he envisioned the La liga Filipina as an association of associations within the framework of mutual aid associations. Village communities sustained the Vietnamese in their war with the United States. During the Dark Ages, when the Roman Empire decayed and fell, and the people could not travel as marauders ambushed travellers, the people organized themselves into village communities. In the absence of trades, the people formed village communities that gradually transformed into manors where a form of permaculture emerged. Permaculture is designed for self sustaining communities that put up their small plots dedicated to small grazing areas for goats, cattle and horses, small plots for cultivation of grains, small vegetable plots too and a common forest where they got their timber and fuel.
In our time, this could be in the form of small bamboo farms to supply village communities with pelletized bamboo charcoal. The power so necessary for any productive activity can be at the heart of a village community thriving through permaculture which with the help of modern technologies such as solar panels could be the answer to sudden and unexpected disturbances, both man made and natural
Role of UP and the SUCs with whom it collaborates:
Certification and standards can be developed to help rabbits have a global reach as exports would need such certification
As had been done by a local SUC (BASC) in San Ildefonso, Bulacan, there is a demonstration bubble for rabbits .As to the bamboo project, BASC has collaborated with Tarlac AgriculturaL University which had purchased equipment for the production of timber and furniture. BASC likewise has existing project collaboration with the UPLB College of Forestry. The BASC reservation in Sierra Madre at the border of San Ildefonso and DRT municipality is now being planned for a forest of bamboo and endemic tree species. The problem is that no courses on forestry and food sufficiency is being offered by BASC.
As a matter of policy, the government should require all SUCs to look into the matter of offering courses leading towards forestry, food security and such other courses, whether as diploma initially or baccalaureate later on, so as to impact on the lives of marginalized village communities that are near or proximate to their campuses.
Learning Hubs should be located within campuses, initially in universities where they exist and in high schools and elementary schools later. Food production and culinary arts can become part of school curriculum or extra curricular activities among 4H clubs. The possibility to change mindsets regarding food security and environment is enormous.

FIL-HISPANO FRIENDSHIP DAY NOTES 2026

From the book "The Philippine Disaster – Memoirs of a Prisoner" whose author is Carlos Ría-Baja, on page 218, there is a text where he talks about Ceballos, and says the following:

After the capitulation of Dagupan, the revolutionary army continued its expedition of advance and conquest, heading to the province of La Unión, laying siege to the town of San Fernando, while another insurrectionary column made the force that, commanded by the Commander Benedicto left the capital of Zambales (Iba) in search of help, since resistance was not possible at the aforementioned point. San Fernando de la Unión did not surrender until after suffering several important attacks, since Lieutenant Colonel Mr. Herrero, as Military Chief of the square, was willing to resist the siege as long as he could.

Several times the insurgents retreated from their positions in view of the zeal with which our soldiers defended their position, until Commander Ceballos, from Dagupan, agreed to go as an emissary with the insurrection force to propose surrender to the Military Chief of San Fernando. from the square.

Commander Ceballos informed Lieutenant Colonel Herrero that the uprising was general throughout the country, that most of the Luzon detachments had surrendered and that, consequently, all resistance was useless, since in the end, no would have no other solution than to capitulate, in worse conditions than what it could do at that time, since the number of wounded and sick would increase considerably, am******on and provisions would become scarce and then it would not be able to impose conditions of capitulation, but rather the insurgent leaders They would be the ones to impose them, knowing that the detachment could not resist the siege any longer.

The Military Chief of San Fernando de la Unión understood the reasons that Commander Ceballos explained to him, but at the same time, he made the determination that he would not return to his post until the detachment surrendered. Ceballos protested against that imposition, since he had given his word of honor to return with the response given by Lieutenant Colonel Herrero to meet with the leaders of the besieging force, and then, in the face of these protests from the insurgent emissary, Mr. Herrero arrested the Commander Ceballos.

A few days later Lieutenant Colonel Herrero capitulated, stating in the act of surrender that he respected the lives and property of the forces that made up the detachment and objects of private property, whose act was complied with what seemed good to the Chiefs who took possession of the detachment. Military and civil government of the square.

When it surrendered and was consequently lifted, the arrest of Commander Ceballos, the titled General Macabulos who had directly intervened in the capitulation, prosecuted the one who had served as his emissary, and probably would have been sentenced to be put to death. not to intercede on his behalf, the capitulators and the Military Chief of San Fernando himself, explaining what had happened, when Commander Ceballos presented himself to him as an emissary, to propose capitulation.

PABLO O. TECSON
Mula sa pananaliksik ni G. Luis Z. Tecson | Nobyembre 2014, Baliwag, Bulacan

Isinilang si Pablo Ocampo Tecson sa bayan ng San Miguel de Mayumo noong 4 Hulyo 1859. Ang kaniyang mga magulang ay sina Tiburcio Tecson na isang mestisong intsik, at Paula Ocampo na isang Kapampangan na tubong Candaba, Pampanga. Si Pablo ang pinakamatanda sa apat na magkakapatid (Simon, na ipinanganak noong 1861; Mariano na ipinanganak noong 1863; at ang tanging kapatid na babae at bunso na si Julia Tecson-David).

Nagsimulang mag-aral si Pablo sa ilalim ng Maestrong si Don Jose Flores, kilalang g**o ng San Miguel de Mayumo. Ipinagpatuloy niya ang pag-aaral sa San Juan de Letran at nagpatuloy sa Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas. Dahil sa maagang pagkaulila sa ama, natigil sa pag-aaral si Pablo, at bilang panganay, inaruga niya ang naiwang katungkulan ng pumanaw na ama ayon na rin sa kaugaliang Tsino (El Coronel Pablo Tecson Ocampo, Silueta Biografica Documentos Historico, Manila, 1929). Namasukan siya sa isang botika sa Escolta, Maynila at itinaguyod ang kaniyang mga kapatid.

Bumalik si Pablo sa San Miguel de Mayumo at itinalaga siyang Cabeza de Barangay sa loob ng 11 taon. Nahirang din siya na hepe ng pulisya sa rangong Tenyente at nanungkulan ng dalawa at kalahating taon. Itinatag ni Tecson ang "Cuadrillos" sa San Miguel de Mayumo. Siya ang nahirang na Kapitan ng 320 Cuadrilleros na pawang mga taga-San Miguel sa ilalim ng isang opisyal na Kastila. ("Pablo Tecson and the Siege of Dagupan”, thesis of Rosabella Fernandez submitted to Prof. Jaime B. Veneracion)

Sa pagsiklab ng Himagsikan, nilusob ng mga taga-Nueva Ecija ang San Miguel de Mayumo sa pamumuno ni Hen. Llanera, ngunit hindi sila nagtagumpay dahil sa pagtatangol ni Pablo Tecson at mga kababayang Cuadrilleros na taga-San Miguel de Mayumo. (“A Shalf of Life”, Rafaelita H. Soriano)

Bago sumiklab ang Himagsikan, si Pablo Tecson ay nanatiling tapat sa Espanya at inatasang magbuo ng isang batalyong lalaban sa mga Amerikano. Hindi ito naisakatupan dahil sa pagbabalik ni Hen. Emilio Aguinaldo mula sa Hongkong. Ipinag-utos ni Aguinaldo ang pagpapatuloy ng digmaan laban sa mga Kastila. Noong Mayo 1898 (araw ng kapistahan ng San Miguel de Mayumo), ang mga Cuadrilleros na taga-San Miguel ay pumanig sa mga Pilipino at tinangkang dakipin ang mga Kastila. Si Tenyente Telesforo Carrasco, pinuno ng 19 na sundalong Kastila na nakatalaga sa San Miguel de Mayumo ay nagtago sa loob ng simbahan. Sumuko ang mga Kastila makaraan ang isang linggo dahil sa panghihikayat ng kaniyang kapatid na si Simon Tecson at ang kababayan na pumanig sa mga Pilipino. (“Remembering My Lolo: Simon Tecson”, Luis Z. Tecson)

Sa pagpanig ni Kapitan Pablo Tecson at 320 Cuadrilleros, hinirang siyang Medyor (Major). Inatasan siya sa pagkubkob ng mga Kastila sa Dagupan, Pangasinan noong 21 Hulyo 1898. Makaraan ang dalawang lingo, sumuko si Comandante Francisco Ceballos at 800 sundalong Kastila. Isinuko rin ang 1,000 Ma**er at mga bala. Dahil dito, muling tinaasan ng rango si Tecson sa pagiging Tenyente Koronel. Samantala, ang kapatid niyang si Kol. Simon Tecson ang inatasan sa Baler (ngayo'y sakop ng Lalawigan ng Aurora). (“Pablo Tecson and the Siege of Dagupan’, Rosabella Fernandez)

Sa simula ng Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano noong 4 Pebrero 1899, si Ten. Kol. Pablo O. Tecson at ang kaniyang pangkat ay nakipaglaban sa Caloocan sa ilalim ni Hen. Gregorio del Pilar. Napilitan silang umurong, ipinagtanggol ang Quingua upang huwag makatawid ng ilog Angat ang mga Amerikano at malusob sa likod ang mga nagtatanggol sa Calumpit. Noong 23 Abril 1899, ang pangkat ni Kol. Pablo Tecson ay napalaban sa 4th U.S. Cavalry na pinamunuan ni Maj. J. F. Bell at napaslang si Col. John Stotsenburg sa labanan sa Quingua. (“The Battle of Quingua”, artikulong nalathala noong 22 Hunyo 1969 sa Sunday Times Magazine at isinulat ni Francisco V. Buencamino)

Dahil sa patuloy na pagkagapi ng mga Pilipino laban sa mga Amerikano, ipinag-utos ang gerilyang pamamaraan ng pagkikipaglaban at hinati ang Bulacan sa 6 na Sona. Ang San Miguel de Mayumo, San Ildefonso at San Rafael ay sakop ng ika-apat na sona. Si Koronel Pablo Ocampo Tecson ay nagkuta sa bundok Corona at pinangalan ang brigada sa punong himpilan nasa bundok Corona. (“Remembering My Lolo: Simon Ocampo Tecson”, Luis Z. Tecson)

Noong umaga ng 29 Mayo 1900, si Captain Charles Duval Roberts at anim na sundalo ay nagtungo sa nayon ng Sta Lucia, San Miguel de Mayumo at nakasagupa ang Columna Volante ni Kol. Simon Tecson na pinamumunuan ni Maj. Nemencio Bartolome. Sa labanang ito, tatlong Amerikano ang napatay at isa ang nasugatan. Si Capt. Roberts at dalawang sundalo ay kapwa nabihag. Ang mga bihag ay dinala sa bundok Corona at ibinigay ang pangangalaga kay Kol. Pablo Tecson. Tumagal ng mahigit na dalawang buwan ang pagkakabihag sa mga Amerikano. Sa pagpupulong sa Provost Marshal ng Amerikano at Kor. Pablo Tecson sa Sibul noong 13 Hunyo 1900, si Capt. Charles Roberts at kaniyang mga sundalo ay pinalaya. Sa pulong na ito, si Capt. Roberts at 2 bihag ng digmaan (Prisoner of War) ay papalayain kapalit ng pangako ni Roberts na hindi makikipaglaban kay Kol. Pablo Tecson. (skirmishes report of Capt. Roberts, U. S. National Archives, Washington, D.C., courtesy of Dr. Miguel P. Tecson)

Noong 6 Abril 1901, isang linggo makaraang mahuli at manumpa ng katapatan sa Amerika si Hen. Emilio Aguinaldo, sumuko si Kol. Pablo Tecson kasama ang 19 opisyal at 173 sundalo sa Sibul, San Miguel. Isinuko rin nila ang mga armas at bala. Si Kol. Pablo Tecson ay nanumpa ng katapatan sa watawat ng Amerika ayon sa kasunduan ng kanilang paglaya. Ang kapatid niyang si Simon ay hindi nanumpa at ipinatapon sa Guam.

Sa tulong ng dating bihag at naging matalik na kaibigan na si Capt. Charles Roberts, si Pablo Tecson ang naging unang halal na Gobernador ng Bulacan at inanyayahan sa St. Louis Exposition sa Estados Unidos noong 1904 (“Remembering My Lolo: Simon Ocampo Tecson”, Luis Z. Tecson). Bilang Punong Lalawigan ng Bulacan, isinaayos ni Pablo Tecson ang paninigil ng buwis, nagtatag ng mga paaralan, nagpagawa ng mga daan at nagkabit ng telepono sa lahat ng bayan. Itinaguyod niya ang industriya sa paggawa ng telang seda (silk industry) at ipinadala ang tanging anak na si Vicente Tecson sa bansang Hapon upang mag-aral ng telang seda. Si Pablo ang tanging Pilipino na kabilang sa lupong pumili sa kinatatayuan ng Central Luzon State University sa Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.

Makaraan ang kaniyang panunungkulan bilang Gobernador ng Bulacan, si Pablo Tecson ay nahirang na direktor ng Kagawaran ng Agrikultura, kasapi ng “Junta de Iqualacion” (Board of Iqualization/Adjustment), at Superintendent ng Agricultural Promotion ng Bureau of Agriculture (ngayon ay Bureau of Agriculture Extension). (“Pablo Tecson and the Siege of Dagupan’, Rosabella Fernandez). Siya ang nagtaguyod sa pagpapagawa ng Peñaranda Irrigation System na pinatutubigan ang mga bayan ng Nueva Ecija. Ang lupang kinatatayuan ng Camp Tecson sa Sibul, San Miguel ay ipinagkaloob ng kaniyang angkan.

Si Pablo Ocampo Tecson ay nanirahan sa Tikiw, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija kasama si Isidoro D. Torres at noong idineklarang “homestead” ang lalawigan ng Nueva Ecija, ang dati nilang mga sundalo ang pinaghawan ng lupa sa tulong ni Manuel Tinio na direktor ng Bureau of Land Registration na tituluhan ang bukirin ng mga lupa sa San Antonio, Nueva Ecija (“Remembering My Lolo: Simon Ocampo Tecson”, Luis Z. Tecson).

Binawian ng buhay si Pablo noong 1940 sa San Antonio, Nueva Ecija. Bilang pagtalima sa kaniyang huling habilin, ang kaniyang mga labi ay inilagak sa Libingan ng mga Bayani sa San Miguel de Mayumo, kasama ng mga sundalong nagpakasakit, nakipaglaban at nag-ambag ng buhay para sa bayan at para sa ating kalayaan.

San Miguel de Mayumo Notes

BRING BALER TO SAN MIGUEL

Now that the annual commemoration of the Fil Hispano Friendship Day is forthcoming this June 28, 2026, the template of the Baler commemoration should b e brought to San Miguel. Beyond the flower offering at the marker in front of the Simon Tecson residence, the local heritage and historical community should seriously plan for bigger celebration. With the help of the local government, a conference may be sponsored by the Pamana sa Mayumo in cooperation as co convenor, of the Samahang Pangkasaysayan ng Bulacan and the PHACTO. Based on our experience, any grand moves start with consciousness building among the people, an effort which entails research and hence, knowledge.
