Marcos holds bilateral talks with 6 world leaders

A rice farmer sprays pesticide at a farm lot in Plaridel, Bulacan on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has signed Executive Order No. 101, mandating the nationwide enforcement of the Sagip Saka Act (Republic Act No. 11321), a law designed to boost the productivity and livelihood of Filipino farmers and fisherfolk. The order requires all national government agencies, government-owned and -controlled corporations, and state universities and colleges to align their programs and initiatives with the goals of the Sagip Saka program, ensuring stronger support for the country's agricultural and fisheries sectors.
