Imports Na Naman? School Feeding Program To Serve Imported Milk

Nakakalungkot na balita ito na pati school feeding program ng Department of Education ay dedepende pa rin sa imported na gatas na supplied ng multi-nationals.
Instead of supporting our local dairy farmers by absorbing the local milk production para lumakas ang industrya, here we are again proposing a program which would support imports.
Indeed, it will take sometime before the local dairy stakeholders could supply the needs for the national milk-feeding program.
Pero, in the meantime, puede naman i-organize ang mga kababaihan para mag prepare ng supplemental food like Kalabasa, Malunggay at Dilis o Tamban.
This program would not only support our local farmers and fishermen but also provide jobs for women in the rural areas who could be engaged in preparing the supplemental food.
Maraming mga kababayan natin ang walang hanapbuhay but here we are taking away income and job opportunities from our own people.
