PROBLEMA TUNGKOL SA INANING TUBO SA BATANGAS NA WALANG MILLING AREA, POSIBLENG MATUGUNAN NA

Nakinig tayo sa hinaing ng mga magbubukid galing Batangas na dumulog sa ating tanggapan kanina. 

Naging mabunga ang talakayan namin dahil napag-usapan ang mga posibleng solusyon sa problema nilang patungkol sa mga inaning tubo na walang milling area na mapagdalhan.

Nawa’y maging susi ang ganitong talakayan para mapabuti ang kalagayan ng mga manggagawang bukid sa tubuhan at masiguro ang sapat na suplay ng asukal sa bansa.

Speaker vows to help Batangas sugarcane farm workers

“Kailangan nating mapabuti ang kalagayan ng ating mga magsasaka sa tubuhan at matiyak ang sapat na suplay ng asukal. I thank our farmersfor working tirelessly for our nation,” said Romualdez, adding that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has been working very hard to ramp up agricultural production aimed at ensuring food security in the country.

“Thank you (farmers) for your dedication in helping the government attain its plan for food security. We are inspired by your great contribution,” Romualdez said.
