“I am so happy to see how much we were able to harvest today from the santol and avocado trees in our backyard,” he said.
“As the saying goes ‘the thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.’”
Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic started, Gomez had advocated for growing one’s own garden at home.
