1) find and discuss from the above article what is wrong in the

Philippine agriculture and fisheries modernization act and

what you think is to be done among our farmers and
fishermen to improve their well being.
- Philippine agriculture during this period has zero
chance of improvement unless the current President
himself will make a move and stop the corruption
happening but it is impossible.
- Next issue was the lack of veterinarians, their education
on farming and the need to rely on laboratory/scientific
confirmation on low agricultural productivity,
mismanagement of crops or livestock.
- That the Department of Agriculture still insists on letting
imports of garlic and onions from China instead of
selling our own homegrown vegetables.

2) determine which three of the of the eight characteristics of

good governance are more reflective and critical in the
country given what you know and observe of the present
state of Philippine development.

- Transparency. The Philippine government lacks this

and needs to do a lot of catching up when it comes to
this. A corrupt government like ours will never have a
bright future and will always be behind other countries if
we keep on electing people who lack transparency and
responsibility when it comes to governance.
- Responsiveness. Lack of responsiveness from the
government, there will be no improvement. It takes a lot
of time before an official or even the smallest unit of the
 government to respond and take action on a concern.
In this article, the farmers and the fisherfolks are the
ones who are repressed or not being heard of. These
two professions in the country which require tedious
amounts of hard work get less than the minimum salary
of a median worker.
- Effectiveness and efficiency. The people behind the
law are the ones responsible for the said characteristics
and sadly, only few government officials are qualified to
do this. The country needs a President and his/her own
people who are efficient, effective, and reliable when it
comes to decision making, who knows how to manage
people and make them follow the law without thinking
twice.
