Weakest economic sector is where Administration has been laziest

Those who veer away from the inane side of policy-making and have looked at the Asean Integration next year with real seriousness, the identity of the sector that would suffer most from the economic integration of the region is not even a puzzle. It is the agriculture sector. And it is called “loser.”

Of course, there are people like Mr. Manny Pangilinan, whose deep corporate pockets acquired the majority shares of Roxas Holdings recently. Though he has been a fount of moneymaking wisdom, many people really doubt his optimism on the viability/competitiveness of the sugar sub-sector once the integration is in place.
