Digitally Reborn – (2) ABS-CBN Brings Palatable Food & Agriculture To The Cities

-

Urban Gardens Magazines. Plural!

My 2nd proposal for ABS-CBN to resuscitate itself. Publish digital gardening magazines for the cities. Different magazines for fruits, flowers, ornamentals, trees, vegetables. All digital. Chic but cheap. Print on demand.

Above, on a US magazine, the main image says “Grow your own food[1]” (from LookBookReport). As caption to the inset image, Anna Bueno of CNN Philippines asks, “Can urban gardening flourish in Manila?” My answer: “Manilans must learn good urban gardening.” Easily digitally. I have already suggested Turning Agriculture into Digital – see “Digitally Reborn – (1) ABS-CBN Brings Digestible Science To The Farms & Homes[2]” (17 July 2020, THiNK Journalism, Digital).

I’m speaking from verifiable experience, and I alone can make the claim you can read as tagline to my blog Creative Thinkering:

World's creative genius online,
most prolific writer of non-fiction.
Frank A Hilario, Guru

That blog alone contains 1K plus essays of a minimum 1,000 words each, different topics.

What can ABS-CBN do now digitally? I recommend for it to create a digital company of bloggers, to which I will be willingly The Blogfather.

The Write Company of ABS-CBN.

All-digital, yes. Some 57 blog-magazines would be easy given the number of garden crops to work with, native and exotic. All digital – print editions at the expense of those who contract The Write Company.

How will ABS-CBN check me out when nobody knows me? Easy! Google for these blogs of mine:

THiNK Journalism, Digital, blogspot.com (reeducating Filipino journalists away from negative towards true, helpful, inspiring, necessary & kind, or THiNK Stories – a revolutionary idea)

A Magazine Called Love, blogspot.com (a rich hodgepodge of essays)
Creative Thinkering, blogspot.com (all about creative thinking & writing)
Pinoy Cinderella, blogspot.com (all about Charice Pempengco)
ICRISAT watch, blogspot.com

The last one is all about the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, ICRISAT, which was/is based in India. ABS-CBN can ask Secretary of Agriculture William Dar who was Director General of ICRISAT when he hired me as international consulting writer, work from home, WFH, blogging from 2000 to 2014.

All in all, I have written and blogged some 6 million words or 6,000 articles/essays, each article a proper essay and not simply hodgepodge of paragraphs thrown in. So I should know whereof I write. About the art and science mostly of Agriculture and Creative Thinking/Writing.

For The Write Company, I will manage for ABS-CBN as Editor In Chief & Publisher. As Editor In Chief I will serve, when necessary, as Author’s Editor, to actively help a writer become the best writer s/he can be – from creative thinking to creative writing.

An agriculturist and a writer, I am volunteering to be to mentor the young staff from gathering background materials to desktop publishing. All digital. All WFH.

Naturally, The Write Company can also produce for ABS-CBN a digital magazine to serve its corporate purposes. Not to mention that any company can hire us to produce the corporate magazine the hiring company managers think they need.

Welcome ABS-CBN Online – at your service!@517

Summertime & Lack Of Water As The Burning Issue Of The Day

Philippines "lack of water" Today, Thursday, 21 March 2019, in Manila I type the above line as my search words, including the double quotes, and Google gives me 9,800,000 results! Millions of webpages – that means that in the Philippines, lack of water is pervasive in the City, as well as in the Countryside. What do they have in common as the cause of water scarcity? I say I see: Lack of consciousness in conserving water when there is plenty of it. The public complaining are the ones to blame for their water scarcity. Look at my photograph above of a ricefield – the farmer has burned half of his field because the rice stubble interferes with his puddling of the soil for planting his rice. If the farmer only knew – if the Agricultural Training Institute, ATI, only taught him to convert the rice stubble into organic matter that will conserve the water in his field – I am assuming of course that the ATI knows! Here we go again, William Dar seems to be saying in his new opinion p...

There Are No Dull Pupils Or Students – There Are Only Dull Teachers Or Instructors! This Is A Teacher Speaking About Multiple Intelligences (MI)

-

I have been re-inspired to write about Harvard psychology professor Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) because my youngest daughter Graciela is now teaching at Potter’s Place in El Nido, Palawan – the school covering elementary grades up to senior high school. As a teacher, I learned years ago that each individual has one’s own intelligences. This new dedicated blog “Multiple I’s” was inspired when I read Vikram Mansharamni’ s article shared on Facebook (15 June 2020, CNBC, cnbc.com ): “Harvard Lecturer: ‘No Specific Skill Will Get You Ahead In The Future’ – But This ‘Way Of Thinking’ Will.” The phrase “Harvard Lecturer” is indirectly saying, “If Harvard endorses the idea, you better subscribe to it!” Mr Mansharamni says: Many of us have been told that deep expertise will lead to enhanced credibility, rapid job advancement, and escalating incomes. The alternative of being broad-minded is usually dismissed as dabbling without really adding value. But the future...

Journalists, Here’s How To Make Your New Year Happy – Stop Complaining First And Start Understanding Where People & Events Are Coming From!

Journalist Ellen Tordesillas , says Rest of World 100 , co-founded the non-profit Vera Files ( restofworld.org ) in 2008, “to provide fact-checking and analysis of Philippine political issues under President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration [as] she and her team of Filipino journalists impart the importance of separating facts from misinformation and disinformation online [that] has become especially significant as political misinformation becomes part and parcel of online life in the Philippines.” Really? Thus,, it is not surprising that she shares on Facebook today, Saturday, 31 Dec 2022, the end-of-the-year sharing: “Hello 2023! New Year, new pieces of information. Continue to be critical and scrutinizing in 2023. “ And my comment to that is this: “Ms Ellen, au contraire – I will continue to be creative 2023 – you would not know I am actually being critical!” Ms Ellen, look at the lower image (“2023” from pngtree.com ): Something new from something old. Goodbye 2022, Hello 20...
