Marcos claimed that he wanted the DA portfolio so that he might institute structural reforms and only upon setting those in motion would he surrender the helm. What those reforms were remain un-identified, perhaps even unpursued as the agricultural crises from the supply and pricing of rice to the grander issue of systemic food insecurity persist.
The other commonality was the absence of intelligent leadership despite an umbilical cord to the Office of the President. Note the constant and cloying negativity that accompanied a series of reassignments, resignations, demotions, and firings. Note also where survivors readily rally even around the most ludicrous placebos and palliatives that sought to repeal even the law of supply and demand.
But the continuing rice crisis is a case of a bad penny that simply won’t go away. It is not only indicative of continuing disunity, but it serves as a post-mortem forensic autopsy of the DA’s policy-making processes hindering Tiu-Laurel from effectively leading the department. Anyway, both gross domestic product and per capita GDP were alien concepts to the greater public. So was the absence of true economic inclusivity despite the bold and brazen braggadocio constantly behind the government’s GDP growth mantra. In contrast to the economics, the price of a kilo of rice was not an alien concept. Even simpletons breathing the thinnest air at the summit understood that.
But Tiu-Laurel was playing a long game and political imperatives, and another shift in policies threatened as the midterm elections loomed on the horizon. Again, trade-offs menace, and extraneous variables enter the equation. For him, the policy turn-around empowering the National Food Authority as a principal rice importer should be temporary, like Marcos’s ridiculous attempt to cap rice prices last September 2023.
