Facing their fellow presidential candidates at the PiliPinasDebates2022, Senator Manny Pacquiao, labor leader Leody De Guzman and Dr. Jose Montemayor said the law needs to be repealed as it adversely affects the country's agricultural sector.
Three presidential candidates said on Saturday that the Rice Tariffication Law should be repealed, partly blaming it for the continued woes of farmers.
De Guzman said the country has around 11 million farmers who have taken the hit when imported rice came after the removal of the barriers. "Kahit anong programa ang gawin natin sa ating mga magsasaka, kung hindi marerepeal 'yung Rice Tariffication Law na 'yun, ay talagang walang mangyayari sa kabuhayan ng ating magsasaka," he added."Napakasarap pakinggan yung mga farmers, tutulungan natin pero hanggat hindi matanggal ang evil na rice tariffication na 'yan, walang kuwenta lahat ng pangako natin sa farmers," he said.
“Yung tungkol sa rice tarrification dapat po handa ang ating pamahalaan na yung four million na lupain na pagsakahan ng pagtaniman na palay, dapat yung three million na irrigated land dapat. Ang gobyerno paglaanan ng pondo para sa ganoon hindi na tayo aasa ng bigas sa ibang bansa,” he said.in February 2019, rice tariffication removed the quantitative restrictions on rice and imposed a 35-percent tariff on imports from the country's neighbors in Southeast Asia.
