Is The Philippine Government Really the Problem? Or is it.. the Pinoy? “Like people, like government” – thus spoke Rizal. Voters, meet thy government. Government, screw thy voters. Pinoys wonder why despite the changes in personalities, regimes, presidents’ mayors, councilors, governors, senators, congressman, even ballot counting systems – the Philippines remains the joke of Asia – and the world. Take for instance the latest government scams.. este programs supposedly to reduce poverty and promote economic development in the Philippines. Agribusiness Aquino Government sez: Modernization pushed to boost farm incomes The Catch: DA “modernization programs will only benefit VENDORS of equipment to the DA… it’s a SCAM!!!! Aquino Government sez: Government to develop rubber industry. The Catch: Business partners of Aquino are interested to enter the rubber industry – and will use the government to expand their operations – supply of rubber seedlings; purchase of rubber products; rubber exports – without improving the quality of life of rubber farmers. Aquino Government sez it is bullish about rice sufficiency in Philippines in January 2012 * Government OKs 3 rice-sufficiency projects – March 2012 * Rice sufficiency program in jeopardy – May 2012 * Agriculture chief: Philippines on track in achieving rice sufficiency – June 2012 * Philippines eyes Vietnam for 100000 tonnes rice supply deal – June 2012 * Philippines to strictly enforce rice tariffs. – June 2012 * “First, an end to over-importation that only serves to benefit the selfish few. Second: we want rice self-sufficiency – that the rice served on every Filipino’s dinner table is planted here, harvested here, and purchased here.” – Aquino SONA The Catch: How many years has the DA been talking about rice sufficiency? Forever, that’s what. Should we be addressing rice sufficiency or rice security? Will it ever solve the issue of rice sufficiency? NO. Why? Because high production and export subsidies in developed countries and high protection in both developed and developing countries have distorted rice trade. sana bombahin ng pamahalaan ang kahirapan hindi ang kagarukan!!! peace:)
