Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go emphasized the need to invest more in the agriculture sector and promote household food security in the countryside.

“Dahil sa COVID-19, nakita po natin kung gaano ka-vulnerable ang Metro Manila sa mga sakit dahil sa congestion dito. Isa sa mga nakita nating solusyon dito ang BP2. Ngunit para mas mahikayat natin ang mga Pilipino na bumalik sa kanilang probinsya, dapat nating masigurado ang food security sa bansa, lalo na sa ating mga probinsya,” Go said.

To fund DA’s various food security programs, Go said that the Department of Budget and Management could consider allowing DA to realign the funds of the agriculture department in so far as the law permits, to ensure ample funds to implement DA’s existing programs supportive of BP2. “Mahalaga rin po ang role ng LGUs sa food security ng bansa. Kaya dapat lamang po na magkaroon din sila ng sarili nilang mga programang pang-food security ayon po sa guidelines ng DA,” Go said.

nagmamarunong kana naman, alalay

Trapo style politics. All talk. No plan. This kind of system should end.

please elaborate!!! kylngn walang kodigo ha 😂😂😂

May flight na ata papuntang davao di ba?

What agriculture are they talking about when the govt has pushed for land reform. Duh!!!

Yung nag unli import kayo ng bigas at produktong agrikultura tapos ngayon gusto mo ganyan plastic ka. Bwiset

Epal ang sobrang kapal, bow!

Epal bugok!!!

ganun ka Rin balik ka sa china kalabisan na kau sa Pilipinas

Luma na po yan... paulit ulit na lang... hina ng utak mo

Ayan na, budget daw. Nakakita na naman ng pag kaka epalan at pagkakakitahan👌👌

Not new. Good try though.

This is good! I wish this will materialize

He's been harping on it for months, since March, on Philippine Information Agency FB pages. Apparently, not only in Baguio and Benguet. There's no traction nga lang. Maybe for easy name recall on 'who has been a working senator'?

SAPBongGo sir pakisabihan po si Cynthia_Villar na tigilan na sa pagpapalaki ng subdivision nila. Ang dami n pong arable land area ang ginawa nilang subdivision. Buti sana kung free housing total 'public servant🤮🤑' daw sya. Opinyon ko lang po. camillahomes

Kakaumay pag mumukha ni gaGo 😂

Press release na naman. Propaganda ever.

Correct. Taon-taon naman po sumisigaw ang mga magsasaka na bigyan din sila ng pansin. Dekada dekada na po siguro ang panawagan na magkaroon ng maayos na patubig at tulong teknolihiya ang mga magsasaka. Kaya lang gobyerno ang palaging nag aangkat ng tonetoneladang bigas/sibuyas.

Tangina nakita ko mukha ni Bong go sa Twitter feed ko sira araw ko.

Mag agriculture SA probinsiya tapos sino ang bibili ang mga mag sasaka nga SA baquio eii Hindi ninyo matulungan ma ibenta ang mga produkto nila tapos mag hahanap pa Kau Ng iba..Kung gusto ninyo mag invest ang mga kompanya SA probinsiya tapusin ninyo ang 50yr na kalokohan Ng npa

The first step is to ban the Villars from driving and buying out & belittling the farmers. Second would be to invest more into the agricultural coffers. The farmers have helped immensely during the lockdown same as with the other frontliners. Time to give back what is due them.

Recycled Idea from a garbage politician!

Ang Pambansang EPAL....

unahin niyo Ibalik China ang mga POGO workers!

Spot on. Spur Rural Demand & Supply thru Massive Barangay based Public Investments in Agri (Build Build Build in farm to market roads; Plant Plant Plant; Produce Produce Produce) is better than allocating scarce govt resources on Imperial Manila huge infra & Zombie bail outs.

Support farmers to be more productive and efficient by providing them better technology to boost production. Setup industrial parks to encourage investors to setup manufacturing plants in the provinces. Just make sure they are enviromental law compliant.

Feeling ko hindi dapat sa agri dapat maginvest.

Balik-Probinsya Program will be successful if the Govt will divert its current BBB Projects instead into building Schools, Hospitals, Markets, and the like ... in the Provinces. These will generate more jobs which will attract the Probinsyanos to go back to their hometowns.

Tama ka pero Ewan ko Kung paano mo gagawin may Alam ka ba

Balik Probindiya program in the past have failed because it was more “take the money and run” thus unsustainable. In a matter of time, they’re back squatting in the metropolis.

GoHome 🤣🤣🤣

Dapat kasama ang agriculture and logistics sa top industries sa PH at sana ma-modernize for higher output.

Easier said than done. Our farmers are aging. Their children have become professionals. Uprooting the informal sector in the metropolis and become farmers or workers in the provinces will not result into anything. It could be a money- making scheme for those who have enlisted.

Trying hard

In that case, pasasasahurin nyo ba ang mga magsasaka habang walang ani? Kasi ang hirap ng buhay ng magsasaka lalo na sa panahon ng kalamidad. Kung May cash assistance ang mga yan sa pagsasaka maraming willing umuwi.

Recycled ideas! Simula ng makapagbasa ako ng diyaryo eh eto na sinasabi ng mga namumuno

Kwento mo yan sa mga subdivision ni villar.

Jusmio! Panahon pa ni Magellan yang programang sinusulong mo. Walang bang bago? Makaepal lang

Kailan ka huling nag toothbrush?

Suggest pa more. Sana sa susunod ung original thought naman. Panahon pa ni diosdado macapagal ung suggestion.

🇵🇭👸🍑🤡

tumahimik ka, caregiver ka lng... KUPAL KA!

matagal na yang sinasabi ni Sen Kiko’ - ngayon mo lang na realize? dyusku naman!

Eng, eng, eng! EPAL King has arrived again!😂

Di ko nakikitang kumikilos yang Go na yan, puro suggest ng mga bagay na obvious naman na. Parang echo.

Agriculture? Subdivision na sila ngayon. Tanungin mo pa si Villar.

Kung may lupa pang sakahan? Kado na subdivided na ng camella at SMDC

Baka lahat ng produktong agrikultura may tatak duterte at mukha ng epal?

Kung matatamnan lang ba ang ngipin !!!

he talks like an empty can.

The food chain from the North and from Mindanao should continue to flow

pano ka kikita kuya, mas mura imported, bigas, sibuyas, you name it, the importers have it. umeepal ka na naman, kayo nga itong pumatay sa agriculture sector

He has become an expert on harping about universally accepted economic development palliatives and making them sound like his own original ideas. Malasakit or just plain political grandstanding?

Even if De Lima was the one to push for this, I'd gladly support her. Y'all say you want PH to progress, but we get stuck because of this politicking. This is a nice initiative. More jobs for provinces, less crowding in the cities, and an opportunity to play big in exports.

After ng malas at sakit centers, may bago na namang pakulo.

Did you do that when you became a senator, epal king? Too busy with shutting down abs cbn and vfa

naka grillz ba sya?

Hanggang 'emphasize' ka lang naman sa lahat eh

Road to recovery from COVID19 muna bago yan programa mo. Unahin mo i-displace sarili mo pabalik.

Kayo po ang da best and the brightest sa senado , 👊🏼 future president SAPBongGo
