"Magtanim ay di biro, Maghapong nakayuko
Di naman makaupo, Di man lang makatayo"
This Filipino traditional song inspires most country men, on the contrary with the lines, the students of De La Salle University (DLSU) Dasmariñas City, Cavite branch experienced to feel the fun and thrill while doing some farming techniques such as harvesting, weeding and feeding animals instead.
March 21 and 22, regardless of the bad weather, rain did not barred the DLSU AB Broadcast Journalism students along with their teacher Mr. Artin Umali to get ready and take the plunge into the farm heedless to be barefooted and barehanded under the muddy field. As the song goes..
"Lagi nang iisipin,
Kung saan may patanim
Doon masarap ang pagkain,
Halina, halina, mga kaliyag
Tayo’y magsipag unat-unat,
Magpanibago tayo ng lakas
Para sa araw ng bukas"
Indeed it imparts that the life of a farmers is not that easy, how one has to bend over the entire day or not having time to sit nor stand while drudging on the scorching heat of the sun but with hard work and perseverance add up with hope that there's always a bright future ahead and so much opportunity living in farm, such qualities a family would never be hungry and continuously sustained.
