A nation that can’t count straight

THE property developers – the kind that build, among other things, those towering monstrosities that look like USSR-era tenements -- recently released data that was news to us small farmers ( and a shocker, too.) Drawing from supposedly official land use data in the Asean Region, they claimed that the Philippines has the largest volume of land still devoted to agriculture in the region, more than the prodigious agri exporters such as Thailand and Vietnam.

More than Vietnam and Thailand, would you believe !
