House Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna Party-list Rep. Carlos Zarate wants the Office of the Ombudsman and the Department of Justice to look into the Department of Agriculture’s alleged pro-important policy for what he described as “economic sabotage”.

He cited the Sugar Regulatory Administration’s recent Sugar Order No.3, which allowed the importation of 200,000 metric tons of sugar into the Philippines, as part of this worrisome trend. The administration is an attached agency of the DA. “This is tantamount also sa tingjn namin to an economic sabotage. Sinasabotahe ang ating lokal na industriya ,” he claimed.

He noted that the DA has had similar directives on the importation of pork and galunggong , which have hurt local stakeholders, amid the ongoing health crisis.
