Many people, including myself, have been wondering why President Marcos Jr. appears reluctant to give up his appointment of himself as Department of Agriculture secretary now that, my gulay, the first year of his six-year term in office is about to end.
Indeed, only a President can undertake such structural changes, Santa Banana, and guarantee food supply with affordable prices for the common good as the first and foremost priority.His second concern is the need for affordable prices for the people.I would like to add, as No. 4, the need for the country to be globally competitive.
The Philippines cannot just accede to what the US wants just because it is our best and foremost ally. Vice President Sara Duterte, being the secretary of education, had brought up a very good argument, wondering what it would look like to the world if we host the refugees , some of whom could be terrorists of the Islamic State.
And it is true, as Sara said, that students would be caught in the crossfire between the government and terrorists supporting the Taliban should the terrorists launch an attack on the Afghans in the Philippines. My gulay, the report may have been exaggerated a bit, but in my view it’s largely true, coming from a UP professor who claimed that dozens of violations of press freedom have been recorded under the Duterte administration.
“Red-tagging,” my gulay, has often been directed to journalists by ABS-CBN, Rappler, the Philippine Daily Inquirer and alternative media organizations. Yes, Santa Banana, there are elements that tend to exaggerate instances like killings of journalists, instances where members of the police force in plain-clothes make surprise visits on some reporters, raising suspicions that they are under surveillance and that the press freedom in the Philippines is being threatened.
