Bong Go: Agri crucial in Filipinos’ recovery from Covid-19 crisis

SEN. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go on Saturday called on the Department of Agriculture (DA) to assist more agriculture- and fishery-based micro and small enterprises (MSEs) to boost food security as part of government efforts to help Filipinos recover from the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) crisis.

“With the current crisis caused by Covid-19, several industries were affected, but food supply should continue. I am appealing to the Department of Agriculture to help the farmers and the fisherfolks in order to ensure that there will be sufficient food for every Filipino family,” Go said in Filipino.
