A portion of Manila Zoo in Malate was converted to an organic urban farm as it remains closed to the public amid the general community quarantine (GCQ).

—Members of the Public Recreations Bureau convert the horseback riding area inside Manila Zoo in Malate into an organic urban farm. The vegetables once harvested are added to the animals’ daily meals, while animal waste is used as fertilizer for the plants.

Members of the Public Recreations Bureau of the Manila city government used the horseback riding area to plant vegetables that are fed to animals in the zoo. In a Facebook post, Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso said this was done to make the zoo more sustainable amid the crisis brought about by the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic.

“Sa maliit naming kaparaanan ay nais po namin na maging sustainable ang ating zoo kung kaya’t ginagawang pataba o fertilizer ang mga dumi ng hayop at ang mga gulay na naani naman ay pandagdag sa araw-araw na pagkain ng ating mga alagang hayop ,” he said in his post. This is among the series of the city government’s infrastructure projects lined up under the “Build Build Manila” program.

They recently broke ground for Tondominiums 1 and 2 and Bagong Ospital ng Maynila. The city government is set to break ground for Binondominium soon.
