Mar Roxas: We need a 10 Year food security Plan
2008-04-14 04:17:00 Transcript of Senator Mar Roxas speech on the rice crisis:“We must now convert the current crisis into a genuine opportunity for agricultural reforms. What we need is a ten-year food security plan done quietly but competently in consultation with experts and stakeholders, attuned with global trends and realities but with very clear domestic targets and a realistic to-do list. Otherwise, we will continue to muddle our way through a global regime of soaring food prices.

She is President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, daughter of former President Diosdado Macapagal, who became president after her father left Malacañang more than four decades ago following his failed reelection bid in 1965.
