President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos, Jr. should address food sufficiency and rising prices of basic commodities in his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 25, 2022, veteran lawmaker and economist Joey Salceda said Wednesday.
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. should address food sufficiency and rising prices of basic commodities in his first State of the Nation Address on July 25, veteran lawmaker and economist Joey Salceda said Wednesday.
"Among presidential candidates, only President Marcos has set aspirational goals and grand national ambitions ...P20 per kilo of rice as possible...it is an aspirational goal and very difficult to achieve, but this objective, coupled with the President's decision to be Agriculture secretary, shows how seriously the new President treats food security issues," Salceda said.
"[This should be done] to boost agricultural production and sell to the consumer with minimal pass through or middleman costs," Salceda said. "Up to 2.4 million jobs exist or can be potentially created if the skills required for them exist. On the other hand, most current jobs are low quality, causing high attrition rates and costs for the company, with implications for our competitiveness," Salceda pointed out.
