Based on the most recent Labor Force Survey released by the state-run Philippine Statistics Authority in December 2022, those employed in the agriculture and forestry sector decreased by a whopping 197,000 from October 2021 to October 2022.

This marks the biggest decline in sectors which posted lesser numbers in terms of employed persons. The same data showed that the agriculture and forestry sector also lost 511,000 employed workers from July 2022 to October 2022 alone.

Here's another attempt from solons to lure more young Filipinos into agriculture.

Davao City 1st district Rep. Paolo Duterte has led the filing of House Bill (HB) No.7572, or the proposed Act granting free tertiary agricultural education, and other related courses to all dependent children of qualified indigent farmers.

Referred to the House Committee on Higher and Technical Education last March 15, the bill aims to provide subsidies to children of qualified indigent farmers who will enroll in agriculture courses and other related fields of study in state universities and colleges (SUCs).

Naghain ng panukala si Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte at dalawang iba pang mambabatas para mabigyan ng insentibo ang mga anak ng magsasaka na nais kumuha o kumukuha ng kursong may kinalaman sa agrikultura.

Sa ilalim ng panukalang Free Tertiary Agricultural Education Act (House Bill 7572), ipinahayag nina Duterte, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap at ACT-CIS party-list Edvic Yap ang pag-asa na mahihimok ang mga anak ng magsasaka na kuha ang agri related courses sa pagbibigay ng insentibo sa kanilang pag-aaral.

ASPIRING lawyers can complete their legal education for free in state universities and colleges (SUCs) in exchange for working in the government for two years after they pass the bar exams under a bill at the House of Representatives.
