The Build, Build, Build Program of the Duterte Presidency must be adapted by the next administration and should focus on small infrastructure projects which would directly contribute to greater food, agriculture and fisheries production.
The most important component of the BBB-2 should be the access roads and bridges to the production areas, commonly known as the Farm-To-Market Roads, Fish Ports with post-harvest facilities and Small Irrigation Systems like the Solar-Powered Irrigation, Ram Pumps and Wind Mills.
I will propose a legislation which would establish the 10-Year National Food Production Infrastructure Program so that during the period, lahat ng mga maliliit na imprastruktura na kailangan para makamit natin ang Food Sufficiency ay matapos.
Karanasan ko bilang dating Kalihim ng Agrikultura na kapag aasa lang sa annual budget allocation ang mga importanteng proyekto na ito, madalas ay nakakaligtaan o di kaya ay napapakiaalaman ng mga politiko ang implementasyon.
By institutionalizing the program through legislation, an annual automatic appropriation would be included in the General Appropriations Act based on properly identified and geo-tagged projects.
This would free the projects from political influencing where projects are implemented in areas where these are not needed but with huge voting populations.
