BEN KRITZ
IN spite of the weather that had most reasonable people scurrying for the comfort of their homes, I had an opportunity to sit down with Finance Secretary Carlos “Sonny” Dominguez 3rd on Friday. It was a conversation about which much more will be written in the next couple of days, and among the topics that were discussed was the state of Philippine agriculture, or rather, agriculture in the context of the somewhat contentious Rice Tariffication Act, and the not-at-all contentious appointment of Dr. William Dar as acting Agriculture secretary.
