Finally, a Bukid Revolution

I am eager about the Daang Matuwid Bukid Revolution, which will boost the country's agricultural sector by increasing opportunities for farmers and fishermen to access the market with loans and more farm-to-market roads.

We all know how Mar Roxas tipped the turning point of the BPO industry that is now an 18-20 Billion-Dollar industry, employing over 1.2M Filipinos from Luzon to Mindanao.

This foresight, coupled with Roxas' systematic approach to solution-finding, levelheadedness, and strong political will to get things done, plus Leni Robredo's deep solidarity with farmers and fisherfolks, makes me very hopeful and inspired to see our farmers finally at the top of our economy, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty and fulfilling Jose Rizal's dream for our country.
