ANGARA: LET’S INVEST IN AGRI, RURAL DEVELOPMENT TO FIGHT POVERTY, HUNGER
Reelectionist Senator Sonny Angara said the government should pay serious attention to developing agriculture and infrastructure in the provinces if it wants to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, which victims are mostly the rural poor.
The lawmaker from Aurora noted that majority of poor and undernourished people live in rural areas, where small-scale farming forms the backbone of their local economy.
