All these regulations were issued without regard to the actual supply and demand situation of fish in the country over the years! Also, FAO 259 stipulated that a "certificate of necessity to import" (CNI) should be issued before importation can be done. One, he said that we need to increase average farm yield from the current 4.2 metric tons per hectare (MT/ha) of palay (unhusked rice) to around 10 MT/ha. Santiago Obien, the first and the longest staying director of PhilRice, texted me that it is possible to sell rice at P20 per kilo and still be economically and financially viable. Due to the massive public outcry against the ban, BFAR immediately withdrew the measure, allowing the public a sigh of relief from rising food prices. FAO 259 expanded the definition of "wet markets" to include supermarkets and online markets. Three, there should be serious efforts in bringing down postharvest losses and in reducing our milling and marketing costs (eliminating layers of traders). A major beneficiary of this "miracle rice" or what came to be called as the "high-yielding variety" was the Masagana 99 rice program of the President's father, former President Ferdinand E. What has not been said is that the same technologies are known and applied at our Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) based in Nueva Ecija. It was touted to have enabled the country to become a rice exporter for at least a couple of years. Both are blue-blooded Ilocanos, rising from poverty in their youth to professional success in their adult life through sheer and the well-known Ilocano traits of discipline, grit and ingenuity. It was the institution that unveiled the "miracle rice" variety in the 1960s that significantly improved rice production all over the world, particularly in Asia.

NATIONAL Security Adviser Clarita Carlos strikes again. Last Monday, Carlos held a dialogue with select business leaders from the Business for Sustainable ...
"For your information, the CPP-NDF-NPA and its front organizations have already been designated by the Anti-Terrorism Council as terrorist organizations. You must know that the NTF-Elcac has unmasked the CPP-NDF-NPA and has shown their true colors to the Filipino people. "This is the stand of the NTF-Elcac. It is the job of the NTF-Elcac to tell the Filipino people that the CPP-NDF-NPA is a terrorist organization and that they have allied front organizations masquerading as alleged human rights defenders' groups," Gonzales reminded Carlos. That the very idea of inequality that these people are crying against is anchored on the concept of private property and the supposed evils of the capitalist state where the businesses of the members of both the Business for Sustainable Development and the Makati Business Club thrive? Human security, food security, energy security — where you have light at home, or gasoline for your car; health security," Carlos declared.

This could mean a centralized agency for procuring all kinds of farm produce from growers, storing them in temperature-controlled facilities, and releasing them to the market according to demand. With such a structure in place, we can pursue the President's policy on agriculture with great determination, without having to worry about the intervention of any import-oriented economic manager. This section constitutes 52 percent of our total population, but its contribution to the gross national product (GNP) has been steadily declining, from 32 percent in 1946 to 19 percent in 1986, and 10 percent in 2021. To underline his concern for agriculture and food security, BBM has not only decided to occupy the agriculture portfolio but also announced a slew of measures intended to benefit the farmers. The move is said to be coming from BBM's economic managers, some of whom the public admires. It is presented rather as a move to help President Bongbong Marcos (BBM) weather the current economic storm, particularly the rising food crisis, by turning to imports rather than to what our local farmers can produce.

The story is very Filipino, but told in a really stylish way. But much more than that, K-Love has all the makings of a successful show. This is the question that the narrator asked, and K-Love answered. Tish's BFF, Shiela (Isabelle Daza), is a wannabe momfluencer and an uber-competitive batchmate, out to prove that she's still the best. The cast swooning over Gong Yoo's hot looks is such a mood. They reunite at a party and start to rekindle the old flame.

This is because young jackfruit has sap (also called dagta) and you would want to remove this first. At P80 per kilo, this is getting a bang for your buck so to speak, and you can make a couple of meals out of a few kilos of young jackfruit. The unripe one, also known as young jackfruit, is commonly used to make ginataang langka (young jackfruit in coconut) which is a great and sustainable vegetable dish to include in your meal rotation.
