Hahaha. Expenses ang probs ng farmer. If the government can produce pesticides and fertilizers at low cost then farmers can lower the prices. We import fertilizers and pesticides kaya always sya nagmamahal.

To see is to believe? Yes, why not. Most Filipinos are science ignorant, up to 80 percent to 90 percent of students fail science tests. Almost half, 48 percent of adults believe more on faith than science while 31 percent don’t know what to say about science—thus almost 80 percent are science ignorant (from SWS survey). They simply don’t understand the science behind sound agricultural practices so they have to see the results. And yet, Filipinos’ basic beliefs are based on imaginary stories they will never see.
