The rich rice lands of Valencia

[Happy]

I read one of the Agriculture newspaper in DK. There was an article written by a danish journalist. He went to bohol, I don't know if he's married to a filipina, but he wrote about the rice planting.

Nya dili siya gusto nga magsuwat mahitungod ana nga dili siya makasuway. Nisuway jud siya tanom ug humay, as a paid worker. Pero wala siya kalahutay kay kapoy kuno. nya hinay man siya motanom, gibaboy nlang siya sa uban nga hanas na kaayo mananom Nikaon pud siya sa pagkaon sa mga trabahante. Pero wala daw niya gikuha ang iyang suhol

[Happy]

oopppsss nadoble

Sa didto pa ko sa Bilar, naay Japon nga doctor. Ang iyang means of excercise is tennis and planting rice (he volunteers for free).

[hazel]

Okay ra unta mo suway pero mahadlok ko sa alimatok. Ang ako nasuwayan, nag guna sa katub-han. Gi hilanat intawon ko. Akong sweldo igo ra gipalit tambal.

[B:)]

I didn't know about this, mura di ay sya ug Banaue Rice terraces.

[Happy]

Hahaha kaluoy, wala diay gihapoy naani sa sweldo kay sa tambal raman gigasto

Ako nga mananom sa una, mamili pud ko anang walay alimatok oi.  Kay basta naay alimatok nya ili ko tug-anan daan, mapiltan gani ko, moundang jud ko ug tanom, ug dili gani magpangilid nalang ko para dili na motamak

[hazel]

Haps, tubohan sa akong lola. Akong papa ga bantay. Suway-suway lagi aron makabalo ug unsay feeling mang guna. Akong sweldo dili complete kay di man ko mo mata ug sayo, 3/4 ra sa adlaw.

My grandfather's ancestral line hails from the regions of Barangay Anas, Valencia and have farmed those same hills since time immemorial; during and before spanish times.

How I yearn to go back to my roots.

The rich rice lands of Valencia

Lorenzo,

The background mountains of Valencia is the Raja Sikatuna National Park (Bilar), home of the most Bio diversity in Bohol and the rainforest mountains of Raja Sikatuna (water shed) provides all the water source that irrigates the rice.

You see, it clearly shows how important it is to conserve our trees. For without them, Valencia would not have water, rice and no Badiang Falls.

You must visit Raja Sikatuna Park. You don't worry about accomodation, I am from Bilar and we have a house and many relatives there. Or we can camp in the Raja Sikatuna complex grounds were there is a natural swimming pool and you are surrounded by forest. At night you will hear all the nucturnal creatures.

[Macky Ferniz]

Unsa bay imong gi try, Maring?  Mag basak?  Sus, I appreciate the farmers but ajaw lang jud ko pag tungtunga anang basakan kay basin naay alimatok nah mangabungkag jud ang mga maya ug basin mag wild ang kabaw sa kakuyap!

asa ni dapit nga murag sagada? dili man na panangatan di ba? are our farmers into organic farming?

[junjun]

Nice place! Dgahan ingun ani sa Valencia. Ang amua kay dapit man sa Panangatan. Tabang jud kug tanom, kaw-mot, gwanu ug habis. Mamunit pa ug mga pesteng kuhol nga di jud mahurot. Basta lay klase tabang jud sa basakan. Usahay nagsamot ko sa akua sis nga mag-away me arung paundangun. So giscold ming duha ja gipauli, pag-abot sa unahan nag-aper mis kamot ja ambak sa sapa. Luoy tawon pus mama nailad namo!

[Lorenzo]

My lolo has hectars of land in the basaks. I remember going to our basaks when I was younger with my Lolo Ciano and my Lolo Mierto and Lolo Hesus (brothers of my grandfather). Clad in boots and the farmer hat. Lolo would inspect his domain and show me how to plant rice.

It is really good to get in touch with the land. And to survey the domain. Id like to visit the basaks again. Simple and beautiful.
