Ms. Pascua said, “as a nature lover myself and someone who grew up in farm, I know na di ka magugutom basta nagtatanim ka. In case of calamity, may pagkain sa garden niyo.”

“Nutrisyon at Kalikasan Ating Pangalagaan,” this is the theme of this year’s Nutrition Month being celebrated by Department of Health - LGU GENSAN City Health Office and MSU General Santos thru Medical Services Department and Office of Student Housing and Dormitories under the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Services last July 29, 2026 after a back-to-back tree growing and gulay planting activity.
Dr. Usmaima F. Usman, Director of Medical Services, underscores that through sustainable ways, we are actually putting premium on our health and nutrition. Dr. Usman shared the success of the event to the organizers - Sir Areo Karlito Banquerigo and Ma’am Juanita Calimba, resident nutritionists-dietitians of the university.
Dr. Norman Ralph Isla, VC for Student Affairs and Services, represented Chancellor Atty Shidik T. Abantas in the said program. He highlighted the vision of the Chancellor of a smart and sustainable campus that values the welfare of the students including their nutrition and well-being.
One major highlight is the talk of Ms. Leah Angela Alolino, Nutritionist-Dietitian of GenSan City Health Office wherein she pointed out the importance of a clean and safe environment to nurture one’s health and nutrition. To eat right is to live well.
Before the Culmination Program, the officials, guests, staff and students plant fruit-bearing trees and vegetables in the community garden of the Ladies Dormitory Main. For OVCSAS, this is a significant act of showing that nutrition and health can be achieved through sustainable ways. As what Vice Chancellor Isla said, “to plant a tree is to leave a legacy that will sustain the world and humanity. Let’s all plant kindness and make this university a safe and sustainable for all.”
