Mylene Dizon tends to her own vegetable garden amid quarantine
Mylene Dizon has heeded the call of the government to grow food in backyard gardens amid the enhanced community quarantine.
On her Instagram account, the veteran actress shared a video of her harvesting romaine lettuce from her home in Silang, Cavite.
"Inumpisahan ko 'to nung lockdown kasi dati nung nagte-taping ako lagi hindi ko naman masyado nabibigyan ng pansin," Mylene said in Nelson Canlas' report for "24 Oras."
"Pero ngayon araw araw at least naaasikaso ko yung garden ko. Imporate kasi 'yung food security lalo na sa mga panahon na ito," she said.
Kyline Alcantara, Mylene's co-star in "Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit," also grows food in Bicol.
"Hindi po natin kailangan maging dependent sa palengke at makakatulong pa po tayo sa ating mga frontliners dahil mas male-lessen pa po ang ating paglabas labas," Kyline said.
The Department of Agriculture has encouraged Filipinos to grow vegetables under their Plant, Plant, Plant program.
They give away seeds and seedlings so people can practice urban gardening.
In Baguio City, the Agricultural Services Division have also distributed seeds so citizens can grow their own "survival gardens." --MGP, GMA News
