Structural reforms needed to stop agri smuggling

One may give the Aquino administration passing marks for keeping the economy grinding at its enviable six percent rate for the last six years. Or for bringing jobs to our unemployed by nurturing the business process outsourcing industry. Or pursuing its 4P commitment by reaching out to the poorest sectors of society, or restructuring the educational system by retraining teachers, building more classrooms and aligning to global K-12 standards.

Well, there’s a relatively good long list of accomplishment that really deserves a sincere pat on the back.

On the other hand, there’s a relatively lengthy list also of things that had not been done, starting from Day 1 of the current dispensation. And some of this would have mattered significantly to boosting further the nation’s and its people’s well-being.
