Why Not “Masagana 300” & P20/kg Rice Under President BBM?! Under His Father, President Ferdinand “FM” Marcos’ “Masagana 99” Miracle Rice Program, We Enjoyed Miracle Rice!
I sympathize with Mr Habito with this negative outlook! Me,
I always try to see the positive in any situation, problematic or not. That
explains why I am very creative, as you can see in this blog alone – “Towards A New Eden” (blogspot.com) – I have been
blogging every single day in the last 2 years! At 81+ that’s God’s blessings!
Pertinently, I must point out & explain I am the
self-proclaimed “Father of Communication
for Village Development in the 21st Century (CoViD21).” What do I communicate?
Essentially Regenerative Development.
Consequently, to enrich Filipino farmers, I am advising that
the Department of Agriculture (DA)
come up with a new national program to be called “Masagana 300” – both a copy and a challenge to President Ferdinand “FM” Marcos’ own “Masagana
99.” The above photograph shows FM (white, standing) with American
President Lyndon Johnson (black,

Masagana
300 – Bountiful 300 – 300 cavans/ha of rice planted.
With prolific hybrid rice and excellent management of soils
and fertilizers, all the regional offices of the DA assisting – Masagana 300 is
a go!
With financial assistances to farmers in clusters and
cooperatives worked out via the attached DA agency Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC), and with ACPC encouraging
public & private banks to actively and amiably contribute to help build
agribusinesses, plural, Masagana 300 should be a resounding success.
If you ask me, personally I am confident current Secretary
Dar will deliver the goods good as gold! After all, he is an Ilocano, and we
Ilocanos are known for dedication and hard work.
Additionally,
I propose that Masagana 300 deviate from Masagana 99 by engaging in the growing
not only of rice but a variety of vegetables, suited to the town where the
farms are located.
Considering export bans, I enthusiastically advice the
conduct of organic agriculture (OA) versus chemical agriculture (CA) for Masagana
300. OA is at least 4 times advantageous over CA, since organic methods:
(1) Regenerate soils and enrich them simultaneously
as they grow the crops. Chemical fertilizers grow crops and leave soils
impoverished without them.
(2)
Grow healthy
foods – no chemical residues in them.
(3)
Reduce cost
of production unbelievably. (My original organic method costs almost zero!)
(4)
Combat climate
change. Chemical fertilizers produce greenhouse gases that generate those
destructive typhoons. Away with chemical fertilizers!
Now
then, Masagana 300 will fight for Filipino farmers 4 times in a major manner. Filipinos
will be the Regenerative Development Winners of the World!@517
