Making Cebu’s puso (hanging rice). Listening to Cebuano folklores. Developing Cebuano pride in the children while exposing them to Cebu’s prime heritage sites. AboitizLand, Inc. through its You Can Be A Hero Program in cooperation with Aboitiz
Foundation, Inc. and Ramon Aboitiz Foundation (RAFI) time travelled with Don Calixto Yangco Sr. Elementary School Grade 6 students back to the past through a remarkable heritage tour
.Forty one (41) kids of AboitizLand’s adopted school, Don Calixto C. Yongco, Sr. Elementary School (DCCYES) explored urban Cebu’s heritage touch points such as Mandaue’s Bantayan sa Hari, Cebu City’s Casa Gorordo and Fort San Pedro last January 28.
Jeanne Ouano, AboitizLand’s Vice President for Corporate Planning said that through visiting these heritage sites, “AboitizLand puts into action its brand promise of nurturing communities, in this case, the old Sugbo, ensuring that it lives on and that the kids, too, understand their role in sustaining communities today and future generations.
”The class visited Bantayan sa Hari, Mandaue’s 1800-old watchtower built to warn residents about impending pirate attacks. Jonhsen Yamac, one of the top students of the class was in awe. Jonhsen marveled at “the fresh air and the beauty of the Bantayan sa Hari, but most of all, it is unbelievable that egg whites were used to make stabilize the coral stones that made up the fort.”At the Casa Gorordo Museum, the kids had a fun time learning from the kids of Barangay San Roque, Cebu City, who taught them how to weave the palm leaf gracefully enveloping the famous hanging rice or puso. After spending considerable time in getting the tricks of the puso making, the AboitizLand employee-volunteers treated the kids with Cebuano folktales leaving the kids with lessons on humility and thoughtfulness.
Now on its second year, Don Calixto Yongco, Sr. Elementary school remains an active partner of the company as one of its adopted schools. The Heritage Tour is part of AboitizLand’s “You Can Be A Hero" program, which includes learning sessions conducted by AboitizLand employee-volunteers every Friday afternoon teaching Math, Science, English, self-development and art appreciation. The tour supplements classroom instruction as it allows participants a first-hand experience of the concepts that are taught during their learning sessions.Amazing Love Race Dashes Through The Persimmon Plus And Pueblo Verde
