SEN. Cynthia Villar pressed for the passage of the proposed Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Law to stop the middlemen and traders from manipulating the supply and prices of basic food items such as rice.

'We should urgently pass the Anti Agricultural Economic Sabotage Law to control the middlemen and traders from causing hardship to the farmers and the consumers,' the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture said in a statement.
