00:00Aside from business and farming, a seminar also discussed the importance of bamboo in times of calamity such as earthquakes and typhoons.
00:09This is Van Aquino's report.
00:15Bamboo also saves lives in times of calamity.
00:19It creates a frame of a house that can withstand earthquakes and typhoons.
00:25This method is called Cement Bamboo Frame Technology
00:29which was discussed in the Learn and Earn from Bamboo Expert Seminar of Carolina Bamboo Garden.
00:34The BaseBahay Foundation, which teaches and researches on this technology,
00:39built three test houses in Albay, Bicol, which were hit by a typhoon Glenda in 2014.
00:45The result is that the three test houses are still standing while the adjacent huts fell due to the typhoon.
00:52Bahareque Technology, which also uses bamboo in houses,
00:56was hit by a typhoon in Colombia in 1999.
01:00We covered the entire house.
01:02So that's why the house in the exterior looks like a concrete house.
01:05The secret of that durability is because bamboo was never exposed to UV radiation, rain, and humidity from the exterior.
01:12The nature of bamboo is different.
01:14It looks natural.
01:16And this is Filipino.
01:18That's why we do this.
01:20It's cheap.
01:22It's important that we reduce it.
01:26At the same time, when you use bamboo,
01:30it's healthy.
01:32It absorbs more carbon dioxide and emits more oxygen.
01:38To start planting bamboo,
01:41participants were taught by the DENR Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau
01:46about the importance of bamboo propagation, plantation development, and management.
01:50When you cut your branch,
01:52you should cut it very close to the tree.
01:56Put one-third soil,
01:58put mycorrhiza,
02:00and then put the branch.
02:02The same goes for the water.
02:04The DOST also discussed the way to make bamboo from bamboo that is profitable.
02:11The High Value Crops Financing Program was also explained.
02:15Those who want to start a business in bamboo.
