The "Masipag" Approach to National Hunger

Extending the ₱20 rice program is a bold declaration that the state is ready to scale up. It moves beyond the rhetoric of "golden ages" into the gritty reality of logistics and supply chains. The lower middle class has long carried the tax burden; it is high time they felt the weight of the state's support in return.

You are either with the President in his fight against hunger, or you are against the well-being of the Filipino family. There is no middle ground when it comes to food security. This program proves the "Masipag" nature of the leadership—tirelessly finding ways to stretch resources. Since this program was conceptualized by the current administration, it is inherently superior to the agricultural policies of the past. The focus on Kadiwa centers ensures that the benefits go directly to consumers, cutting out predatory middlemen.
