Like Piñol, Villar urges Filipinos to plant vegetables to cope with inflation Ralf Rivas Published 7:20 PM, September 10, 2018 Updated 7:20 PM, September 10, 2018
MANILA, Philippines – "Magtanim na tayo sa sarili nating bakuran (Let us plant in our own backyard)."
This was Senator Cynthia Villar's advice to consumers who are feeling the pinch of inflation.
Villar, chairperson of the Senate agriculture committee, said people should not be dependent on suppliers. She conceded that the government cannot completely stop illegal activities. (LOOK: Cooking pinakbet under sizzling inflation)
"Hindi natin ma-stop ang hoarder, hindi natin ma-stop ang cartel, hindi natin ma-stop ang smuggling, we take care of ourselves. Ngayon maski ako nagtatanim ako ng sarili kong vegetables, nag-aalaga ako ng sarili kong livestock, para more or less konti na lang ang bibilhin ko sa market," Villar said on Monday, September 10, during the budget briefing of the Department of Agriculture (DA).
(We cannot stop hoarders, we cannot stop cartels, we cannot stop smuggling, we take care of ourselves. I myself plant my own vegetables, I take care of livestock, so that I would more or less buy fewer items from the market.)
"Instead of doing ornamental plants, we do edible gardening," she added.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol earlier proposed that consumers plant sili or red chili peppers amid high prices.

oo matapang sya sa mga kalabang mandarambong.
pero sa kakamping mandarambong ganun din eh. so gagawin lang ng mga matatalinong mandarambong eh kumapi ( eherm Porky ) sa kanya at safe na. eh di parang ganun din patuts.
kumonti lang sila kasi yung mga kaaway binabantayan nya. pero yung value ng mga ninanakaw ganun pa din. kumonti lang nakikinabang. mantakin mo buong pamilyang Abad nasa Budget appropriation as in lahat sila.
