MANILA Economic and Cultural Office chairperson Silvestre H. Bello urged the government to provide a sizable piece of land to graduates of Agriculture studies from universities overseas.
Farming in the former, he observed, is powered by machine and equipment, and is hardly a manual endeavor. Compared locally where a hectare’s output is between 80 to 100 cavans, Taiwan can come up with thrice as much, or about 280. The prospects of professional life post-graduation there are promising to say the least, as can be seen in the series of scholarships extended by the Taiwanese government to its Philippine counterpart. In fact, Bello shared that he has already attended three graduation ceremonies from May to June.
In relation, he shared he was scheduled to meet with the secretary of finance, as well as leaders of Congress to discuss the matter of double taxation, which is considered a major hindrance for foreign businesses to open shop in the Philippines.
