EDITORYAL SMUGGLING NG AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS, NGPAHIRAP NG TODO SA MGA MAGSASAKA Ang mga ibinulgar sa hearing ng komite sa Senado ay hindi na kagulat-gulat para sa mga mamamayan at mga nasa sektor ng agrikultura.

Noon pa dumaraing ang sektor na ito sa mga nasa pamahalaan na siyang dapat mangalaga sa kanilang mga kabuhayan, subalit tila nag tengang kawali ang Department of Agriculture.

Hindi lamang pag-aangkat ng produktong agrikultura ang pumapatay sa kabuhayan ng mga magsasaka kungdi ang talamak na smuggling ng produktong dapat sana ay mga magsasakang Pinoy ang nagpo-produced at nakikinabang.

Ang smuggling ay sabwatan ng mga sindikato sa loob mismo ng pamahalaan. Kung hindi ito mabibigyan ng kaparusahan ay lalong magiging talamak ito sa mga susunod na panahon.

Nangako naman si President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. na pananagutin ang mga maysala.

Hintayin na lamang natin kung kailan niya mahaharap ang mga nagkasalang sindikato ng smuggling na sa pamahalaan.
