MANILA, Philippines – A ranking member of the House of Representatives urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to form a food security cluster in his Cabinet following a Social Weather Stations survey that showed a prevailing high hunger rate in the country.
Salceda said in a statement on Wednesday, November 2, that it was alarming that the hunger rate remained almost unchanged despite the Philippine government’s recent push to reopen the economy after a two-year-long pandemic slump. “Early warning systems and weather prediction methods are also extremely crucial in protecting our food from typhoons and other disasters. So, the Department of Science and Technology and the Department of National Defense play important roles in our food security strategies,” he added.
