PH can be an agriculture titan once more – Marcos

Saying majority of Filipinos are farmers, vice presidential candidate and Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has vowed to regain the country’s status as the leading agricultural power in Asia.

Gracing the “Araw ng Agrikutura” (Day of Agriculture) in Baler town, Aurora, on Monday, Marcos noted the continuing drop in agriculture’s contribution to the economy from a high of 30 percent in the post-World War 2 era to the current level of 11 percent.
