In the middle of the urban sprawl, these Quezon City residents have gotten their hands dirty and their thumbs green. ADVERTISEMENTNow on its second year, the “Gulayan at Bulaklakan” project is a brainchild of barangay chair Felicito Valmocina, the longtime leader of the village. In an unconventional move, Valmocina required all 500 personnel of the barangay government to plant at least one vegetable crop at home.
