Susó sa gutom na nilikha​
Pantawid ulam sa sikmurang kumakalam

Ni Jush Nichole Gobangco

Kilala ang suso sa Ingles na Fresh water snail at scientific name na Jagora asperata. Sa bayan ng Dulag, kilala rin itong “banisil” habang sa bayan naman ng Abuyog ay suso. Naging pantawid gutom ito ng pamilya ni Reynaldo M. Reas Sr., residente ng Abuyog, Leyte, 60 taon gulang, may 8 anak at 9 na mga apo.
 

Tagapanayam: Magandang hapon po kuya, Kailan pa po ba kayo nagsimulang gawing ulam ang suso?

​

Mang Reynaldo: Taong 2000

​

Tagapanayam: Bakit nakagiliwan niyo pong ulamin ang suso?

​

Mang Reynaldo: Dahil madaling mahanap ito, sa katunayan nasa malapit na fish pond lang namin makikita ito, mura lang at masustansya pa. Kahit bata pwedeng ulamin.

​

Tagapanayam: Bakit niyo po nasabing masustansya ito?

​

Mang Reynaldo: Bukod sa masarap ito, lalo na kapag ginagataan at nilalagyan ng maraming luya, bawang, sibuyas, tanglad at luyangdilaw. Hatid nito ay bitaminang calcium, pamparami sa gatas ng ina. Pampawala rin ito ng antok dahil kailangan mong sipsipin ito para lumabas ang laman nito.

​

Tagapanayam: Ngayon po ay ginawa niyo itong munting negosyo, di po ba?

​

Mang Reynaldo: Sa kadahilanang kabilang kami sa mahirap na pamilya kaya naisip naming gawing negosyo ito. Bukod pa diyan, marami ang naghahanap na aming mga kapitbahay simula nang matikman nila ito.

​

Tagapanayam: Magkano po ba ang presyo ng ginataang suso? Mang Reynaldo: Yong luto na 20 piso at yung hindi pa, isang kilo 20 piso.

​

Tagapanayam: Sa isang araw, mga ilan po ba ang bumibili nito?

​

Mang Reynaldo: Minsan isang araw nakakalikom kami ng 500, sapat na pambili ng bigas.

​

Tagapanayam: Sa inyo pong tingin, papatok po ba itong munting negosyo ninyo?

​

Mang Reynaldo: Oo naman basta’t tiyaga lang. Isa pa, sa panahon ngayon na pataas nang pataas ang presyo ng bilihin, mas marami ang mga mahihirap na gaya namin kaya mas pipiliin na lang nila ng bumili ng murang suso. Masustansya na, masarap pa.

​

Tagapanayam: Maraming salamat po, kuya. Kami po ay nagagalak na kami po’y iyong napaunlakan. Sana po ay lumago pa ang negosyo ninyo.

Green Empowerment
By: Ellaine Dhea Cano

As the doors of our school swung open to welcome another academic year, a wave of transformation rolled in. Our principal, with a vision for a greener future, implemented a program that banned plastic in our school premises. It was a commendable step toward reducing our environmental impact, but it posed questions. What about students who couldn’t afford tumblers and containers? How could we ensure inclusivity while championing sustainability?

 

Simultaneously, our Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) introduced the “Basura Mo, Uwi mo” initiative, pushing us to address the broader issue of waste management.

 

The initial challenge we encounter is the affordability of tumblers. While many students can easily acquire one, it’s evident that some might face financial constraints.

 

We will explore the innovative solutions our school community can adapt to minimize waste and ensure that every student can actively participate in our journey towards a more sustainable future.

 

One inspiring approach could be the launch of a Container Donation Drive. By encouraging students and parents to contribute spare containers for water and food, collect and distribute them to those in need.

 

This generous endeavor would embody our school’s spirit of unity and support. To further the cause of responsible waste management, students can consider forming a Student-Led Environmental Committee. This committee could take charge of monitoring and enhancing our school’s environmental practices. They can organize recycling initiatives, educate fellow students about the importance of reducing plastic wastes, and lead efforts to maintain our campus green and clean.

​

These solutions embody our commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, and a shared responsibility toward a greener future for our school. As we collectively embark on this path toward a more sustainable future, let us remember that positive change is possible when we unite with a common purpose. Together, we can make our school a shining example of what it means to be environmentally conscious and inclusive
