I. ACTIVITY DETAILS:
Activity Objective/s :
The traditional concept of Brigada Eskwela, which involves physical cleaning, painting,
repainting, and doing minor repairs as stipulated in DM No. 032 series 2020 will no longer
happen as amended in DM No. 053 series 2020. However, it may be done two weeks before the
opening of classes in public schools on August 24, 2020, depending on the prevailing local risk
classification in community quarantine guidelines.
In connection to this, the Macatbong Elementary School tried its best to follow such
guidelines and still participate in the Brigada Eskwela 2020. The new concept of Brigada
Eskwela focused on preparations and strengthening partnership engagement to ensure that
learning continues even in the time of COVID-19.
Classrooms were cleaned inside and outside, disinfected and see to it that it was virus
free. The bulletin boards were updated as well as the learning materials necessary for instruction.
The gardens were also cultivated
I. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
PUPIL DEVELOPMENT
2. Even during the pandemic of COVID-19, each of the fifteen (15) classes of Macatbong
Elementary School participated and were assigned to different areas within the school vicinity to
establish their Gulayan sa Paaralan Project. Areas in front and or at the back of the classrooms
were usually used as the area for the project. This is for the purpose of beautification and
maintains cleanliness in the school surroundings.
3. Although the school adopts the Modular-Distance Learning as the learning management
system, the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project still promotes hands-on learning on crop production.
Pupils were encouraged to plant vegetables and flowering plants on their houses and bring one of
their plants in the school.
Pupils were taught about the importance of cultivating soils and preparing them for
planting season. They were also taught about proper direct planting, transplanting, watering, and
weeding practices. Pupils were able to gain knowledge and hands-on experiences on proper
vegetable production. All of these were done on their own homes.
4. The harvested products were used as a source of fresh vegetables during the school feeding
program. Instead of buying vegetables outside the school premises for school feeding programs,
the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project serves as a source of fresh and organic vegetables for pupils.
Aside from that, stakeholders such as the community also benefited from the produce of Gulayan
sa Paaralan. The community also bought vegetables in the school during harvest season.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
2. Used the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project as a venue for hands-on training in crop production.

Teachers encouraged pupils to have their own gulayan in their homes.
3. Promoted the use of new technologies in vegetable production through the use of plastic
mulch, green houses, bio-intensive gardening and the like.
Teachers were able to showcase new technologies in vegetable and crop production by
using innovative methods such as the use of plastic mulch instead of regular weeding, bio-
intensive gardening instead of the use commercial fertilizers, and the use of greenhouse instead
of the use of direct sunlight.
4. Promoted the use of high yielding varieties (HYV’s) in crop production through the use of
high quality seeds.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
2. Putting up greenhouse and use of plastic mulches to promote and introduce new technologies
in crop production.
1. Produced and used concoctions (such as FPJ, FFJ, IMO, and LABS) in the Gulayan sa
Paaralan Project.

seeds. Through the use of high-quality seeds, the project was able to minimize yield
losses during harvest.
3. Reduced the labor requirement for weeding through the use of plastic mulch. The plastic
mulches prevent the growth of weeds between the plants.
