After some conversations, the decision was made, and we are going to repaint the chapel of the baranggay, not necessarily the whole barnaggay but we are only assigned to paint all the chairs inside the chapel, we are also going to plant 6 paet trees along the side walks. And last but not\ the least our last project is the repainting of gutter along P. Guevara st. Beautification in this barnaggay is our main goal and we have to accomplish it as soon as possible.

“Tree Planting Activity” This Saturday January 13, 2007, we arrived at the the baranggay at exactly 8:00 in the morning. We first join the aerobics activity of group six They lead the dance floor and the people there participated in that said activity. We enjoy it too much. After that, we went to our proposed baranggay which is near to that place, we called the assistant of the chairman and seek for some help, regarding to the places or spots that we are going to plat trees. We get all the necessary things needed for tree planting which are the digging rod, shovel, trash bags, rake and water. We plant six (6) paet trees along the side walk of P. Guevara street and Milagros street we all have a hard time especially to those boys who dig the soil, but despite of it we have fun while we are doing this activity, this activity is really exciting because this is the very firs time we plant trees. We finished the 6 paet trees and we came back to the baranggay at around 12:00 in the afternoon.

“Repainting of Gutters” This Saturday, January 20, 2007 our activity seems to be more complicated as we go deeper, today we are going to repaint the gutter along P. Guevara Street this is where the house of the chairman is located. We canvass first for the prices of the necessary materials that we are going to use which is the enamel (white) paint, brush, two (yellow-gold) tinting color, brush, rollers and thinner. We start painting at 10:30 in the morning we’re late because we attended the morning activity of the other group so we have to double time so we could finish it on time. First the girls clean the surface to be painted, then the boys followed it with brush, we use the alternate method in order for all the members experienced to paint, because our tools is not enough to us. We finish painting at around 2:00 in the afternoon. While we are doing this activity we really enjoy it because we all worked together, although this work is too hard to do for us.

We started it around 9:45 in the morning we didn’t join the activity of the other group because we are running out of time. we use the excess paint on our previous activity, but this time the group six join us in our proposed project they helped us cleaning along the P. Guevara street and Milagros street, so we are really thankful because, they helped us. We group ourselves; the boys were assigned for the continuation of painting gutters, while the girls and group six clean the environment. This time we finished our task early because the other group helped us, so good for all of us because we can go home early and we are not going to work under the sun no more.
