Millers seek 'less harsh' penalties

SAN JOSE CITY, Nueva Ecija: Led by its president Elizabeth Vana, 80 members of the Nueva Ecija Rice Millers Association (Nerma) have renewed their appeal to the government to reconsider what they have described as 'harsh' provisions of Senate Bill (SB) 2342.

'We are not an enemy of the government and we will always support President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. against rice smugglers, profiteers and hoarders,' Vana said in an interview with The Manila Times on Friday, Oct. 13, 2023.
