'There's a poverty of leadership and expertise in the agriculture department, plain and simple. And you know what the root cause of that is? A politician who never dirtied his hands on a farm, that's what.' ThoughtLeaders
Senators want Bongbong Marcos out of the Department of Agriculture , but they’re too chicken to say it as it is, the way they should, to his face. And so, they just take turns ganging up on the underlings.
He’s been in office for six months and he still hasn’t appointed a full-time agriculture secretary. I mean, who’s running the show over at DA? A bunch of farm animals? It’s not just the department. It’s the whole chain of command. I’m trying to understand why we had a supposed shortage of almost 4,000 metric tons of onions in 2022 even though DA data show there was a surplus in 2021. There were 11,000 metric tons of onions in cold storage as part of a total of 53,000 metric tons of supposed supply.
What else went up during his first six months in office? Sugar prices. And eggs. I mean, what’s next? Garlic? Rice? At the rate things are going, forget about how his “unity” campaign slogan would push rice prices down to the P20 level. There’s a poverty of leadership and expertise in the agriculture department, plain and simple. And you know what the root cause of that is? A politician who never dirtied his hands on a farm, that’s what.Bongbong Marcos never had real job experience outside of politics. He never had to worry about how he would get to work in the morning, especially when rats and roaches are everywhere, struggling to stay afloat in the flood. Not once did he dip his clean toes into muddy waters.
