PBBM can produce 'superior' version of PNoy's El Niño response plan, says House leader ManilaBulletin
Recto, a former Senate President Pro Tempore, recalled that RAIN was a comprehensive strategy paper drafted by the National Economic and Development Authority . It guided the whole-of-nation’s response during the 2015-2016 El Nino episode.
Recto said the Marcos government should have a whole-of-nation response of its own, and “I believe that the BBM version will be a superior one because it can draw from a wealth of previous experiences.” “One big motivating factor” for President Marcos to commission an El Niño response strategy, according to the House leader, “is that will hit a sector which is under his jurisdiction – agriculture.”“Iyong agriculture natin meron ng preexisting comorbidities . On top of this is the recent combined fuel-fertilizer crisis. Foul weather should not be the third,” Recto pointed out.
El Niño also negatively impacts livestock and poultry as high temperatures can cause heat stress on animals, Recto warned.
