Historical Background

In 1982, from a farming town in Malaybalay, Bukidnon, the church, led by then-Bishop Gaudencio Rosales, and its people began to act as one with the belief that even the smallest thing they can do, if done for and with others, will have a tremendous impact.  The farmers were concerned because their farmlands seemed to be drying up, and after a meeting with the bishop, realizing that what was causing the land to dry up was the rampant illegal logging and denudation of the forests of Bukidnon.  It was then that the vision began to take shape – that it is by doing small acts together, for a common goal and the good of all, that people are able to live their Christian lives to the fullest.
