Statement of Sen. Nene Pimentel on GMA order for direct selling of NFA rice

I favor direct selling by barangay operated units. They know the people of their communities. Of course iwasan lang ang pamulitika.

Also, there should be a drive against hoarding and profiteering in the rice business by people with access to government offices having to do with rice trading.

Finally, the government should restart policy of production.

That is the ultimate solution to the rice problem: self sufficiency, not importation.
