Former Commission on Elections Commissioner Rowena Guanzon questioned the planned move of the Marcos administration to import sugar when “milling season” in the country has begun, hinting at the possibility of someone financially benefiting from it.The feisty ex-commissioner, a P3PWD Party-list nominee, posted on Wednesday, Jan. 25, a link to a news article where she was interviewed about the government’s plan to import sugar.

The news article quoted Guanzon as calling on the Chief Executive to decide on the importation of sugar based on actual data of local production, and not based on information from some people.“Now it is sugar that BBM wants to import when milling season has begun. Who is going to make money sa pag import ng asukal? Traders can manipulate prices,” she warned.
