BBM, Miracle Worker 2022. How Marcos, Now Officially PH President, Can Magically Produce A P20/kilo Rice And Make The Philippines Great Again!
Mr Ronquillo is correct – if you assume everything constant,
if you assume that PH agriculture cannot be harmlessly changed so that we
Filipinos can produce a P20/kilo rice and
make consumers happy and still leave the farmers happy with their profits.
The
Miracle lies in how you produce the rice.
Today, farmers apply liberal amounts of inorganic or chemical
fertilizers. There are 6 inorganic fertilizer formulations in the market: urea ammonium
sulfate, ammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, complete and muriate of
potash.
The miracle lies elsewhere: organic fertilizers. Paolo Romero says Sen Cynthia Villar urged the Philippine
government on 06 Dec 2021 to increase local production of organic fertilizers (07
Dec 2021, “Boost Production Of Local, Organic Fertilizers – Villar,” PhilStar Global, philstar.com).
Sen Villar said, “The country must boost the production of organic fertilizers
to reduce farmers’ dependence on expensive imported fertilizers while helping
increase yield and income in agriculture.”
We have to manufacture more organic fertilizers. Here
is news from the Fertilizer &
Pesticide Authority (FPA): “Rising Fertilizer Prices: A Reality” (11 Nov
2021, FPA, FPA.da.gov.ph):
As of 2006, there were 59 FPA-registered organic fertilizers available in the
market, with about 44 organic formulations. (I also have my 57-year old formula,
free for the asking!)
Even so, it is not so difficult to concoct one’s organic
fertilizer. Here are some guides from ANN (Author Not Named, 25 March 2021, “Organic
Fertilizers From Farm Waste Adopted By Farmers In The Philippines” Business Diary, businessdiary.com.ph);
I am just listing the concoctions here, sans formulations:
Fermented Plant Juice
(FPJ) – enzymes from leaves promote crop growth
Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ) –
sweetens the fruits via potassium
Fish Amino Acid (FAA) – abundant
nutrients
Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN) –
natural pest repellant.
Last month, in celebration of Earth Day, as guest speaker, Secretary of Agriculture William Dar said on 21 April 2022 at the
opening of the BioAg Conference in
New Delhi, India: “There are now 165,000 organic farms in the Philippines,” and
I already reported it (22 April 2022, Towards
A New Eden, Blogspot.com). 165,000 organic farms in my country – that
was a wow for me!
So,
Mr President BBM, this is your wake-up call – as with the others who believe in
the powers of inorganic or chemical fertilizers. “Namulat na, sana hindi na muli
pipikit.” Now your eyes are open, hopefully not to close again.
So,
Mr President, I advise you to come up with a reality-based national policy on
organic fertilizers – junk chemical fertilizers – to magically produce a P20/kilo rice! The miracle comes from
natural science.

Also,
with organic fertilizers, no more greenhouse gases that produce climate change.
2 miracles in 1! Mr BBM, you would become the President who fought climate
change magically for a P20/kilo rice in
his country!@517
