Madam:

I have the honor to request permission from your good office to undertake
KIDLAT - Badminton (Kangkong: An Income-Generating Project for Developing Learner-
Athletes’ Talent and Skills in Badminton).

70% of the income derived from this project will be used for the School’s
Badminton Training and the remaining 30% will be used for other miscellaneous
expenses.

Attached herewith is a copy of my project proposal for your approval.

Very truly yours,

A PROJECT PROPOSAL
FOR AN INCOME GENERATING PROJECT (IGP)

I. Name of Project: KIDLAT - Badminton (Kangkong: An Income-

Generating Project for Developing Learner-Athletes’ Talent and Skills in
Badminton)

Project Location: Aringin Elementary School

Aringin, Moncada, Tarlac

Target Date: January 2019

Target Date of Completion: December 2020

II. Importance of the Project:

1. Ipomoea aquatica is a semi-aquatic tropical plant grown as a leaf

vegetable. It is known in English as Water Spinach, Water Morning Glory,
Water Convolvulus, or by the more ambiguous names “Chinese spinach”
and “swamp cabbage”. It is found throughout the tropical and
subtropical regions of the world.
2. In the Philippines, it is popularly known as “Kangkong”. Farmers grow it as
a regular crop in lowland rice fields, and it is the most economical
vegetable to grow. It requires less labor since it does not need careful land
preparation or watering.
3. Kangkong is usually sauted in cooking oil, onions, garlic, vinegar, and soy
sauce. This dish is called adobong kangkong. Kangkong is also a common
leaf vegetable in fish and meat stews like sinigang. There is also an
appetizer called crispy kangkong, where fresh leaves are mixed with eggs,
water, cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper. The leaves are fried until crispy
and golden brown.
 4. Also found in the leafy vegetable are minerals and vitamins like calcium,
phosphorus, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and
ascorbic acid. Because of its high iron content, the vegetable is
recommended to patients suffering from anemia.
5. Due to its popularity, growing demand and low-cost maintenance, the
Proponent thought that this would be a good product for an Income-
Generating Project.

III. Objectives

A. General Objectives:

The school as an institution of learning and development aims to

produce higher yield of upland kangkong with the following objectives:

1. Integrate gardening and sports training, specifically badminton,

together;
2. Train pupils for gainful and profitable income generating project
through kangkong production;
3. Instill the value of industry toward work which is an initial factor for
economic prosperity;
4. Let the pupils experience and feel the fun and joy of earning their own
money from own sweat as a fruit of their labor and industry; and
5. Provide badminton players with tools and equipment needed for their
training and matches using the profits gained from the IGP.

B. Specific Objectives:

Teach the pupils the appropriate procedure and skills in the

following operations of planting upland kangkong.

1. Materials
2. Methods and practices
3. Data gathering
4. Record keeping
5. Effective dissemination of acquire technology
6. Marketing and utilization of product.

IV. Project Site

The area to be used is the EPP Garden located at the northern part
of the school lot designated for Grade VI Agricultural use. The place is
enclosed with school perimeter fence. It is ideal for the proposed project. It is
free from stray animals and feasible for vegetable products.

V. Materials and Methods:

A. Land Preparation and Field Layout

An experimental area of 250 sq.m. will be used in this project. The

area will be thoroughly prepared by alternate plowing and barrowing and
was laid out following the randomize complete block design. The area will
be designed into four blocks into four equal plots. The dimensions of each
plot will be 8 meters long and 1 meter wide. The plots will be separated by
alley ways of 1 foot wide.

B. Application of Animal Manure

Two weeks before planting, animal manures will be broadcasted

and thoroughly incorporated with the soil to allow decomposition of the
manures. The different organic manures to be used are chicken manure,
goat manure and carabao manure.
The rate of application will be 150 kgs.

C. Sowing of Seeds:

The kangkong seeds will be sown directly in garden plots. Plant

densities may vary between 30-170 plants/m2.

D. Cultivation and Weeding:

After the seeds has germinated, shallow cultivation will be done

10 days after to destroy the growth of weeds and to provide proper soil
aeration. Hilling-up was employed as the plants grew older.

E. Irrigation:

Overhead irrigation will be employed with the use as sprinkler

every morning and afternoon to supply the needed moisture. This will be
done until harvest time.
Water the plants every day or as needed. Mulch with rice straw or
rice hull to cut watering by at least 50%.

F. Control Pests:

Caterpillars, whiteflies and aphids cause serious damage. Control

by regular pruning of stems. Spray the plants with hot pepper extract or
insecticidal soap to get rid of aphids. Regular pruning at three weeks
interval can minimize white rust.

G. Harvesting:
 Harvest by cutting young shoots 20-50 days after sowing and
subsequently at regular intervals. The plants are cut about 5-10 cm above
ground. Uprooting can also be practiced at 20-30 days after sowing.

H. Seed Production

Upland kangkong flowers in October and seeds start to mature from

March to April. For small-scale production, harvest dried or mature fruits
individually. Sun-dry until the husk is brittle enough for seed extraction.
Each fruit contains 3-4 seeds.

For large-scale seed production, harvest the entire plant when

majority of the fruits are mature. Sundry for 3-5 days and thresh in the rice
thresher. The hay or refuse may be fed to the thresher several times to
maximize seeds yield. Dry extracted seeds to about 10-11% moisture
content. Winnow to remove debris and poor-quality seeds. Pack in
moisture-proof containers. Label and store in a cool, dry place. There is no
need to treat kangkong seeds with pesticides.

VI. Management Operation of the Project

A. Project In-Charge:

Rommel U. Yabis who is the badminton trainer and coach/project

adviser will take charge the overall management of the project.

B. Pupil Cooperators:

Group I Group 2
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.
4. 4.

Group 3 Group 4
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.
4. 4.

Group 5 Group 6
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.
4. 4.
 Each group will be headed by the group leader. Each group has
one garden plot assignment to be prepared and cared of. Group leaders
will be preparing and keeping all the project report forms. Aside from
being responsible for the proper application of the acquired knowledge
and skills. They will be leading their number cooperators to have higher
yield of kangkong.

C. Methods and practices:

All the necessary methods and practices of planting kangkong

will be taught to the member-cooperators together with the other TLE
pupils through demonstration teaching by the project teacher in-charge.
It is expected that the pupils-cooperators will be used and will apply the
technical know-how in the operation of the project.

D. Data Gathering and Record Keeping:

Data gathering related to planting kangkong will be an

important part of the daily activities that the pupil-cooperators ought to
perform. Some of the data to be taken are the following:

a. Number of days of germination

b. Growth in height per day
c. Pest and disease prevalence
d. Weather condition
e. Weight of product and number of kilos harvested.

The record of operation will all be prepared by the project leader

under the guidance of the teacher in-charge. For safekeeping, such
records will be kept by the project leader and the teacher in-charge.

E. Monitoring of Project:

All the pupil-cooperators will be technically assisted by the

teacher in-charge. Their daily activities will be recorded by the group
leaders using the project form 1. All observations and data gathering will
be reflected in form 2. The summary of operating expenses and the
product sales will be entered in form 3 and form 4 respectively.
All forms to be prepared by the project leader will be constantly
checked by the teacher in-charge to monitor the project.

VII. Harvesting and Marketing of Products:

Harvesting will be done twenty thirty days from sowing most

especially when the leaves attained their marketable size and succulence.
 Harvesting will be done by uprooting the whole plants. The
kangkong will be bundled carefully with the corresponding labels to avoid
misrepresentation of the data.
