Govt urged to end poverty and hunger

Apart from the country’s serious campaign against illegal drugs, the government should also give emphasis to the crisis of poverty and hunger, a senator said on Tuesday.

During the Anti-Hunger Summit held in Ateneo de Manila University that aims to improve public-private collaboration to create solutions to hunger, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian noted that the Duterte administration is capable of simultaneously focusing on drugs and poverty and hunger just like what Vietnam did to reduce the same crisis by 50 percent in the previous year.
