Farmers' groups call for Balisacan's resignation
The Philippine Star
|June 10, 2024
Various farmers' groups on Sunday demanded the immediate resignation of Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan after the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board approved the lower tariff on imported rice from 35 percent to 15 percent, in a bid to bring down the retail price of the staple.
-
At a press conference, former agriculture secretary Leonardo Montemayor said that peasant organizations will personally write to President Marcos to remove Balisacan from his post.
"We will continue various types of protest actions, signature campaigns; and the visit to NEDA will not be very friendly, as we will reiterate our call for the removal of Secretary Balisacan," Montemayor said.
