The Negros Island, just like most islands in the Philippines, is a very agricultural area. It is planted mostly with sugarcane. That's why it is dependent on the sugar industry.
And as this 2022 election campaign goes grassroots, our group of Leni-Kiko volunteers in Victorias City is sharing Senator Kiko Pangilinan's plans for the sugar industry, farmers, and fisher folks here in the Negros Island.
Senator Kiko's plans:
1. Order the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) to stop the importation of sugar during the milling season.
2. Order the Department of agriculture to cap on the price of fertilizers and release immediately P500 million fuel subsidy for farmers and fisher folks.
3. Strengthen the local agricultural sector to avoid importation of farm products.
4. Bring attention to the plight of the farmers because they are the ones who bring food to our table.
5. Walang nang public bidding sa pagbili ng gobyerno (national at local) sa ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda. Wala nang 'middleman'.
6. Agrikultura, trabaho at pagkain - ang plataporma ni Senator Kiko.
