00:00Kapuso, you were discussed in a seminar on how to plant and take care of bamboo.
00:06Aside from that, I also shared here the importance of bamboo,
00:10especially during a time of calamity like a typhoon.
00:13We have first news from Von Aquino.
00:19Bamboo can also save lives during a time of calamity.
00:23It creates a frame of a house that can withstand the impact of a typhoon and typhoon.
00:28This method is called Cement Bamboo Frame Technology
00:32which was discussed in the Learn and Earn from Bamboo Expert Seminar of Carolina Bamboo Garden.
00:37The BaseBahay Foundation, which teaches and researches on this technology,
00:42made three test houses in Albay, Bicol, which were hit by a typhoon Glenda in 2014.
00:48The result is that the three test houses are still standing while the adjacent houses were hit by the typhoon.
00:55Bahareque Technology, which also uses bamboo in houses,
00:59was hit by a typhoon in Colombia in 1999.
01:03We covered the entire house, so that's why the house in the exterior looks like a concrete house.
01:08The secret of that durability is because bamboo was never exposed to UV radiation, rain, and humidity from the exterior.
01:16The nature of bamboo is different.
01:18It looks natural.
01:20And this is Filipino, that's why we do this.
01:23And it's cheap.
01:25It's important that we reduce it.
01:29At the same time, when you use bamboo, it's healthy.
01:35It absorbs more carbon dioxide and emits more oxygen.
01:41To start planting bamboo, the participants were taught by the D.E.N.R. Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau
01:49of Bamboo Propagation, Plantation Development and Management.
01:53When you cut your branch, you should cut it very close to the tree.
02:00Put one-third soil, put mycorrhiza, and then put the branch.
02:05The same goes for the water.
02:08The D.O.S.T. also discussed the way to make bamboo from bamboo that can be used for earnings.
02:14The High-Value Crops Financing Program was also explained for those who want to start a bamboo business.
02:21This is the first news, Von Aquino for GMA Integrated News.
03:14Thank you very much.
