President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is urging students to take up agricultural studies to boost the country’s food production.
At the distribution of certificates of land ownership award, e-titles, and inauguration of farm-to-market roads in Coron, Palawan, Marcos Jr. emphasized the need to highlight agriculture courses.
Most students do not prefer courses in agriculture, the President said.
This, he added, prompted the administration to promote and highlight their importance to the country’s development.
“Ngunit kailangan natin ng mga magsasaka. Kaya’t kasama po sa charter ng Agrarian Reform Program na ang lahat ng mga kabataan na dumaan at naging estudyante sa kurso ng agrikultura ay mabibigyan din… ng lupa,” said Marcos Jr.
At least 19 agriculture graduates received their land titles from the chief executive during the event.
