Marcos \u2014 Laurel said he has yet to talk with Isabela Rep. Tonypet Albano about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albano, a supporter of the program\u2019s revival, was told by House Speaker Martin Romualdez to help the DA moving ahead, Laurel said. The lawmaker was present during the briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf that Masagana 99, or 100 whatever it is, is for rice production, increased production, then &#8216;yong gusto ni PBBM (what the president wants) mechanized, increased production, technically we&#8217;re aligned if that is the direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, experts who were part of Masagana 99&#8217;s implementation criticized it for its use of pesticides that damaged the environment, and loss of trained personnel, among others. The program was eventually scrapped in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlos Dominguez III, who was the agriculture secretary during former President Corazon Aquino\u2019s administration, also said there were about 800 rural banks that were bankrupted by the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 6) \u2014\u00a0The newly appointed agriculture chief is still not seeing the realization of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.&#8217;s campaign promise of \u20b120 per kilogram of rice price within the near future as modernizing the sector will take \u201ca little time.\u201d Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. on Monday [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10460,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[159],"class_list":["post-10459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-global-rice-news"],"acf":{"enable_premium_overlay":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
