Villar, umaasa na lalagdaan ni Duterte ang Cash Assistance to Pinoy Farmers law
MANILA, Philippines — Kumpiyansa si Senator Cynthia Villar na lalagdaan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang pagsasabatas ng Cash Assistance to Filipino Farmers Act of 2020 kung saan mabibiyayaan ang mahigit 1.6 milyong maliliit na rice farmers.
Sinabi ni Villar, chairperson ng Senate agriculture and food committee, na inirerekomenda sa Cash Assistance for Filipino Farmers Act of 2020 na ibigay bilang cash na tulong sa rice farmers ang anumang sobra sa P10 billion Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) collection ng Bureau of Customs (BOC). Mabibigyan ng tulong ang mga magsasaka na may isang ektarya pababa ng rice land na tinatayang 1.37 milyon sa talaan ng Registry System of Basic Sectors (RSBSA).
“Under the House version, “we are looking to benefit an additional 355,456 rice farmers, or a total of 1,673,266 rice farmers with at P4,500 cash assistance,” giit pa ni Villar.
