win grand prizes at 2011 DPSA Quest
“Supat kan Hinangos ko Gikan sa Basura Mo” and Doot sa Salog, Buhay kan Gabos, websites
about people who despite of misfortune are courageous enough to deal with their plight through
hardwork making use of the meager resources they have and the disadvantages of water lilies in
rivers and its possible resources, respectively, won the grand prizes in the 2011Doon Po Sa
Amin” Quest held at SMX Convention Center, Pasay City last February 21-22, 2012.
These were designed and developed by a team from Grade V and Grade VI pupils. ,The website
on trash sacked business does not attempt to make people feel the depressing scenario of the
dumpsite nor it focuses on how hard it is to be a scavenger or garbage picker; instead it focuses
on the positive outcome of the scavengers’ effort to elevate their living through the junks that
most of us think are useless; on the other hand, water hyacinth gives comprehensive story of the
disadvantages of the presence of water lily (as water pollutant) in the rivers, the detriments
caused to people’s economy and the environment publishes approaches in turning the water
hyacinth into worthy resources and meaningful employment particularly for women.
