President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. expressed his wish for a stable agriculture sector on the eve of his 66th birthday.
In an ambush interview in Quezon City on Tuesday, 12 September, Marcos said he wants to see the agriculture sector become more stable so the government can better support the farmers.
"That agriculture becomes stable, and we finally understand the true state of the weather. Is it the wet season or the dry season? So that we can help our farmers. That's still my prayer until now," Marcos said.
Marcos also considered as the "best" birthday gift the issuance of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the New Agrarian Reform Emancipation Act or Republic Act 11953
"As we chart a path towards a more self-sufficient and equitable Philippines, this administration reaffirms its commitment to enrich the lives of our farmers, ensure the rapid industrialization of our farmlands, and promote sustainable and inclusive growth in the countryside," he said.
Marcos will travel to Singapore for his speaking engagement at the 10th Asian Conference on Wednesday.
While in the Lion City, he plans to mark his birthday and attend the 2023 Formula One Singapore Grand Prix.
