While rice caps are necessary for disaster or emergency, stop gap purposes, it doesn’t work in the long run. Why? Because while a price cap is ok for other commodities, for rice medyo delikado. With a rice price cap, tendency is traders will hesitate to buy palay from our farmers for fear of losing money due to the cap. 1/x Farmers will suffer. Imports as a means of addressing the shortfall in production is iffy too due to the unprecedented high world market rice prices. Traders will also hesitate to release current stock because of the cap and if at all they will only release in increments rather than the usual bulk releases. 2/x

Message of Kiko Pangilinan to the graduates of the University of Assumption Batch 2023 - St. Silverius

LIVE: fb.watch/li0c8BaQtP/

[Team Kiko] I am pleased, privileged, and proud to be invited as guest of honor and speaker for this year’s 58th Graduate and Collegiate Commencement Exercise with the theme “UA Graduates: Advancing Catholic Education, Leadership and Service.”

Maraming nagtatanong sa akin,

“Bakit sobra ang tinataas ng presyo ng pagkain - lalo na ng sibuyas, bigas, baboy, isda, atbp samantalang agriculture country tayo?”

Ang Singapore di naman malawak ang lupain, ang Thailand, Vietnam, pati Malaysia, lahat mas mura ang pagkain.

🧵 Ang pagkakaiba?

Binibigyan ng top priority ang food security sa Singapore at sa Vietnam, Thailand at Malaysia, top priority ang mga sector ng agri at fisheries.

ALAM NIYO BA? Bukod sa pagiging doktor, guro,
at manunulat, isa ring magsasaka si Rizal? Itinulak niya ang pagmomodernisa at reporma sa agrikultura sa pamamagitan ng pagtatayo ng isang kooperatiba noong siya ay nasa Dapitan. Nais niya na maiahon ang mga magsasaka mula sa kahirapan kaya tinuruan niya ang mga magsasaka ng mga farming techniques tulad ng crop rotation, paggamit ng makinarya at fertilizer, at kung paano ibebenta ang kanilang produkto.

Commencement speech of Kiko Pangilinan for the graduates of UP College of Law | 13 August 2022 | University Theater, UP Diliman

[Team Kiko] Magandang hapon at congratulations sa Batch 2020 ng UP College of Law at sa inyong mga bisita – mga magulang, kapatid, kaibigan, jowa, at sa lahat ng mga nagtiis sa inyong mga pagsusungit – uhm, pagsusunog pala ng kilay.

Message of Kiko Pangilinan to the graduates of Adamson University Batch 2022 as the commencement speaker this afternoon:

[Team Kiko] In his invitation letter, Fr. Manny (Manimtim) said I was chosen for my “servant leadership and invaluable contributions that significantly improved the lives of our national and local communities.” He said this will serve as an "inspiration to all [Adamson] graduates."

Ang galing nitong program ni Mayor Pogi ng Angeles City Pampanga na "Walang Plastikan: Plastik Palit Bigas"! Nakakatulong na sa pagbawas ng kalat na plastik, nakakapagbigay pa ng bigas sa mga residente ng Angeles.

Ang mga naiipon nilang plastik ay ginagawa ring bricks na gagamitin sa kanilang mga infrastructure projects. Ang husay!

"Dati akong staff ni Bongbong Marcos noong 1995. Pero bago iyan, naging staff rin ako ni Miriam noong 1992. Syempre lahat ay napupuntahan ko ang buong Pilipinas dahil ako nga ay political officer… "…Ngayon ay nakikita ko parang magkaibang magkaiba no’ng 1995 tsaka ngayon. Noon kasi, talagang hindi ako hirap, lahat napupuntahan ko buong Pilipinas hindi ako hirap kasi marami akong pera, may budget kami. Pero ngayon, gumagastos ako ng galing sa sariling kong pera.

"Bakit si Kiko?

Unang-una, si Kiko ang aking VP kasi ang presidente ko ay si Leni at siyempre kailangan magwork sila together. Kapag si Leni lang at naiwan si Senator Kiko, hindi nila maaayos ang bansa, o lahat ng plans nila. Hindi matutupad nang mas maayos kung hindi silang dalawa yung nandoon. At tsaka sa lahat ng mga kalaban, si Senator Kiko yung walang bahid ng korapsyon, walang iskandalo against him, walang cases of graft and corruption.

"Kami ay pamilya ng mga farmer. Anak ako ng farmer, pati ang tatay ng asawa ko ay farmer. Namatay ang mga magulang ko during the pandemic dahil sa old age. Noong hindi na nila kaya magtanim, ako na ang nagpatuloy magtanim sa mga hinihiram na sakahan ng palay at gulay. “..Ang asawa ko naman ay mayroong maliit na tindahan. Mahirap ang buhay dahil sa taas ng presyo ng mga bilihin. Naiintindihan namin ang mga konsumer - kapag minahalan mo yung presyo, mahihirapan sila lalo na sa mga pang araw-araw na bilihin kaya konti lang ang patong.

It has been 7 weeks after the senate approved on 2nd reading the Bayanihan 2, extremely disturbing news of alleged massive corruption, 7 weeks after, in Philhealth hit the country’s news headlines. In the days to come I understand hearings will be conducted to look into these serious allegations of the misuse of COVID related funding right in the middle of the pandemic.

ON NTC CEASE-AND-DESIST ORDER OF ABS-CBN

We condemn this arbitrary exercise of governmental power.

Ito’y kalokohan. Sa gitna ng pandemya ito inaatupag ng gobyerno. 2.2 milyong Pilipino na ang nawalan ng trabaho bunga ng COVID pandemic at quarantine. Ang krisis ng kalusugan ay krisis na sa paggawa at pangkabuhayan ng mga kapamilya, kaibigan, kapitbahay, at kakilala. Stopping ABS-CBN’s operation would cut the income of another 11,000 employees. Wala na bang puso ang pamahalaan?

We appeal to the sense of compassion and understanding of the @senatePH leadership & our colleagues to allow @SenLeiladeLima to participate in plenary sessions through teleconferencing.

kikopangilinan.com/2020/05/05/sta… @senatePH @SenLeiladeLima .@SenLeiladeLima will be an added voice of knowledge and wisdom in discussions of measures. As can be attested by Senate records, she continues to file bills and resolutions and constantly issues hand-written statements on pressing issues of the day even while in detention.

Paano nilabag ni Pasig City Mayor @VicoSotto ang batas na hindi pa batas? Ginamit ang mga improvised tricycle bago mag-March 18. Umapela, tinanggihan, at sumunod sa utos si Mayor Vico March 19. Naging batas ang Bayanihan to Act Heal as One Act (Special Powers Act) noong March 24. A case against Mayor @VicoSotto for acts done before the effectivity of the Special Powers Act will not fly as it will violate Art. III, Sec. 22 of the Constitution, which reads “[n]o ex post facto law or bill of attainder shall be enacted.”

Sen. Kiko Pangilinan explains his NO Vote on the Anti-Terror Bill. @senatePH [TeamKiko] We thank Senator Ping for his diligence in shepherding this measure, and for his patience in answering all our questions with regard to it.

We recognize the hours of readings, research, and interviews that went in the crafting, sponsorship, and finally defense of the measure.

We associate ourself with the Senate Minority in the 18th Congress not because we are so-called obstructionist but because we believe that a strong Minority is critical to a democracy. Being in the Minority is not a deterrent towards being able to work together and perform our legislative mandate.

In fact, in the 17th Congress, key laws have been enacted because of the diligence of the Senate Minority.
