Monette and Lawrence Ko Teh teach kids Zach, Rafi and Mik the “bayanihan” spirit.By just pulling one green thread, a rich tapestry of vivid colors unfurled in the hills overlooking Marikina River and the Sierra Madre Mountain range, revealing neighbors leading a sustainable, organic life in the Heights, a village in the university town of University of the Philippines, Ateneo and Miriam College.
When Moppet rang the “call to arms” through the village Viber, a group immediately responded, led by Triny Sy, Sherwin and Julie O, Amy Abaquin-Panaguiton, Abby Robles, Rochelle Shing Lao and Monette Ko Teh.Almost overnight, face shields—foam, acetate, garter, glue gun—were made within the community. Donated acetate rolls had to be cut to size, sorted in sets and distributed to volunteer households.Triny added, “I was a freshman medical student at PGH before I decided to quit medicine.
Another group led by Riza Mantaring raised P2 million in two weeks for distribution to the dense urban communities of Della Strada and Nuestra Señora in Matandang Balara. And there is the villager baker, Buds Patajo, who offer “healthy” breads with no “improvers, extenders nor preservatives,” ranging from kamote pandesal, sourdough batard, rainbow bread, to Parmesan ensaymada.Birthday cakes during lockdown? No problem, call Emy Ramos.
