DepEd Memorandum
No. 234 series 2008

PLANTING OF MALUNGGAY TREES IN

SCHOOL
Public school officials nationwide are now required
to encourage students to plant horseradish –
malunggay in Filipino – as part science classes or
school community outreach projects, according to
a Department of Education. "Planting malunggay
trees will translate to huge savings not only for the
department but for the families of students,"
DepEd Order No. 234, which he issued as part of an
agreement between school office and the
Department of Agriculture. Last year, the DepEd
launched its Gulayan sa Paaralan (Vegetable
Gardening in Schools) project to promote food
security in schools and communities .
