Kiko: Unlock Mindanao’s potential as food basket
Former senator Kiko Pangilinan believes Mindanao can become the Philippines' "food basket" if provided with adequate support and funding.
Pangilinan emphasized that Mindanao, despite being called the "land of promise," has not received sufficient support to realize its agricultural potential.
To transform Mindanao into a food basket, he proposed an annual allocation of P100 billion to the Department of Agriculture for the next six years, increasing its total budget to P800 billion.
He made these statements during a campaign rally in Marawi City, where he was accompanied by his wife, Sharon Cuneta-Pangilinan.
