Talk of the Town: Ayuda and much more

Comments on “Ayuda and much more,” (No Free Lunch by Cielito F. Habito, 5/26/26) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:

I am told by learned economists that most of our poor are in the agri sector . But our agri sector has not been doing well for decades and investments in modernization and productivity very minimal . That’s why we are so poor despite growth because growth in BPO, remittances, semicon not enough to pull us out.
