CAPTIVATING THE TREE OF HOPE By: John Marlon L. Molinos

Another most prized possession was once again received by the Toque Republic of Green Valley College Foundation, Inc. on the Kawayan Festival which was been Held Last February 19-27, 2010 by the provincial government of South Cotabato at the Protech Center. Our school has joined the “Kawayan Sleeping Garden Room Showcase”. There were many activities that was been made by the province for the people of South Cotabato not only in the 2nd district but also to the 1st district as well. Several types of seminars and trainings that taught the participants on how to plant Kawayan and what are their uses. And according to them, if the coconut was the “Tree of Life”, the Kawayan was the “Tree of Hope”.

The Toque republic which is better known as the HRM Department of GVCFI has Pave the way for excellence in winning such event. There were a lot of schools who participated on the said event but before the competition is going to start, they’ve backed-out and there were only three braved and competent schools left, namely; Green Valley College Foundation, Inc. (GVCFI), Marbel Institute of Technology College (MITC), and the Holy Child College of Surallah. These schools have their own representatives to present their showcase. Ours are John Marlon Molinos, Leizl Juares, and Sherwin Jay Faisal Hapitan. Each of the school has their own theme for the event and our theme was “Kawayan Sanctuary”. It was a place where you can relax, unwind, and escape the business and pressures of life. It is also where you can fall in love and be loved back by nature. Our entry is a total package, from the bed, down to its interiors.

There were two sets of judging, the Preliminary and the Final. During the preliminary Judging, our entry caught the eye of the judges because of its ambiance and its relevance to the competition. And it’s getting even better on the day of the final judging because of the new set-up of our entry. Yes! You’ve heard it right; we’ve change the interior and add other stuffs to make it more special for the final judging. And all the donkeywork of the students has come to a sweet and delightful end because for the second time around, we have won the grand prize. It could not be happened without the undying support of the administrators and the HRM Faculty and Staff of GVCFI. And also to the students who helped us, Ojie Bancuyo, Nerie Urpiana, Michael Pama, Kenneth John San Lorenzo, Junyl Pobre, Larry Combong Jr., and John Anthony Teker.

To all the students of GVCFI especially the students of the Toque Republic, this is the one we could be proud of. Indeed, GVCFI doesn’t produce the best but rather, GVCFI are the makers of the BEST.
