No doubt the new law, as pointed out by Sen. Cynthia A. Villar, chair of the Senate agriculture and food committee, would be a huge assistance to Filipino farmers given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent typhoon on their lives. “Any amount we give to our farmers will be a big help to augment their income and improve their poor living conditions,” she added. More than these stop-gap aid programs, the government — and the private sector — really need to address how productivity of small farmers can be boosted, and how their products will be bought at the fairest price possible. A price that will sustain them, not the middleman’s exploitative low price that only pushes small farmers deeper into poverty.

Sorry he (the tennis star) lied that he didn’t got covid…
FORMER top officials of President Fidel V. Ramos‘ government pledged to support Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo’s bid for the presidency.
The 23 ex-officials included 14 former Cabinet heads.
In a statement released on Thursday, they said they “believe that the country sorely needs a leader who will inspire unity, solidarity and teamwork in the government and among all Filipinos.”
The leader must also “empower our people, especially the disadvantaged and marginalized in society; and bring out the best of servant leadership in government officials and public servants by being the foremost example of integrity, dedication, professionalism, level-headedness, statesmanship, pursuit of excellence, hard work, and true caring and sharing for our fellow Filipinos,” they said.
Robredo, they added, “is the only presidential candidate who possesses the above-described qualities and who can credibly lead us Filipinos closer toward that dream.”

EDITORIAL – Fake vax cards
People faked RT-PCR test results, so it’s not surprising that some people might fake vaccination cards as the government launches today the “no vax, no ride” policy in the National Capital Region. In an effort to reach the holdouts against COVID inoculation in the NCR, where there is ample supply of vaccines so there is no reason not to get the shots, the government has banned the unvaccinated from taking public transportation.
<<>
For the long term, this problem also gives urgency to the production of a uniform vaccination card, ideally with security features against forgery. Since the vaccination program was rolled out in March last year, there has been much talk about producing a uniform vaccination card. Like digital contact tracing, however, this initiative has gone nowhere. The “no vax, no ride” policy should prompt the government to get serious about producing a vaccination card that cannot be easily faked by any tech-savvy adolescent.

EDITORYAL – Bahay-bahay na pagbabakuna
Isinusulong ng Malacañang na gawing bahay-bahay na ang pagbabakuna para maabot ang target na bilang ng mga mamamayang bakunado sa buong bansa. Magandang paraan din ito upang mapataas ang vaccination campaign. Kung pupuntahan sa bahay ang mga senior citezens at iba pang walang kakayahang magtungo sa vaccinations sites, malaking bilang ang madadagdag sa mga bakunado.

The Straits Times says:
A mid-career switch that makes sense
1.17.22
In a welcome sign in these trying times, up to 100 people looking to move to the agri-tech sector in a mid-career switch can benefit from a new career conversion programme (CCP) over the next two years. The programme, rolled out by Workforce Singapore, the Singapore Food Agency and Republic Polytechnic, is in line with the push to equip workers with relevant skills so that they can benefit from the green economy. The approach is an eminently sensible one. Not only is the green economy tied intrinsically to Singapore’s sustainability goals, but the economic prospects are also good. The country aims to produce 30 per cent of its nutritional needs locally by 2030. The agri-tech sector currently employs around 2,000 workers. By 2030, it is projected, about 4,700 new and redesigned jobs would be created. Indeed, of these, about 70 per cent are expected to be filled by skilled workers and professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs). While the figure of 100 people might appear small, the CCP will obviously be expanded if there is high demand.

There are good reasons for believing that the wind is in the sails of agricultural technology. That the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted food supply chains across the world is a reminder that no nation can take its food security for granted. Agri-tech uses modern technology to increase production yield, improve food quality, and promote sustainability in the agri-food value chain. It is a growth sector. It needs agronomists, produce specialists and farm managers, roles that require workers to be competent in areas such as science, infocomm technology, engineering and mathematics.

Graft fight needs resolve
The fight against corruption in Thailand is a long winding road without any encouraging sign that the country will reach zero corruption as hoped. The latest analysis prepared by the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT) shows the government must work harder to achieve its target of eliminating graft.
