OPERATION GULAY With the cooperation and assist ance of the Cotabato Social Action Center under Auxiliary Bishop Antonino Nepomuceno, OMI, Cotabato Council No. 3504, Cotabato City, jointly with the reactivated Colum bian Squires Circle No. 1515, is undertaking a survey to determine who among the city residents have vacant lots or backyards. With these spaces, the Knights hope to employ wayward and do-nothing boys to till them for raising vegetables. This project expects to shoot two birds with one stone, figuratively speak ing; that is, to give these boys an opportunity to work and earn and at the same time, help give impetus to food production. In this connection, the Knights joined hands with City Execu tive Assistant Johnny Ty and Ro sary Heights Barrio Captain John ny Roales in launching the “Opera tion Gulay” project. Under this pro ject, varieties of vegetable seeds are being distributed free to families who responded to the call for back yard gardening. It is believed that this project will go a long way to wards helping alleviate the difficul ties now being experienced by city residents, owing to the skyrocketing prices of food in Cotabato City.
