Bataan Rep. Geraldine Roman on Saturday pushed the passage of a bill institutionalizing the “Kadiwa” store project.
“What we experienced during the pandemic should be a lesson learned in terms of logistics and supply chain planning,” Roman said. She said her bill sets up an infrastructure map by providing resilience in case the supply chain is compromised by natural or man-made calamities. “The Philippines was an agricultural country which had its growth years the late 60s to early 70s. The last time we were able to attain an agricultural surplus was in 1993. By then, the Philippines joined the World Trade Organization . The promises were agriculture will flourish and about 500,000 new jobs per year will be generated,” Roman said adding that the membership from the WTO led to economic decline, incurred trade deficit, and started dependency on importation.
