On Sunday afternoon, I met with a group of farmer leaders of Western Pangasinan under the shade of coconuts in Lingayen, Pangasinan.
Walang sound system at merong dalawang upuan lang na hindi naman ginamit.
Dumating si Lingayen Mayor Pol Bataoil at nag offer na lumipat kami sa covered court but everybody opted to stay in the open area.
While the number of participants was only about 80 persons, each one represented large farmers organizations, including the PAFC and MAFC Presidents.
Many of them came from distant towns of Western Pangasinan, the farthest of which was Dasul about 80 kilometers.
The standing only meeting lasted less than one hour at walang snacks o merienda.
The farmer leaders, however, were happy after hearing the assurance that should I win, I will fight for them and work to lift up Philippine Agriculture.
