The Philippines is one one of the agricultural country in the world, but it is ironic that farmers are the one feeding the nation yet they cannot feed themselves.

As a son of a local farmers it is very unfair to work everyday within 3 months , and to pay for their livelihood and gain nothing from it due to the current policies.

Since the Rice Tariffication Law was implemented in 2018,it allows cheaper foreign imports to pour in without preparation for local farmers could hurt their livelihood.

Moreover, without any restrictions on rice imports , foreign business have imported cheaper crops,thereby competing with local rice production.

The fuller importation of rice from other countries resulted in the plunging prices of local rice,benifiting the rice eating populace but hurting the livelihood of many Filipino farmers. Be a catalyst of change!
