In other countries, Farmers are very rich, because their government prioritize them and supports them. Unlike the situation of our farmers today here in the Philippines Farmers are dying, Lack of Government Assistance This is so common with us, we are an Agricultural Country so why does the government do not prioritize our Agricultural sector, where our poor farmers belongs. Instead they  make our farmers even poorer, specially with the implementation of Rice Tariffication Law. To add, the Agricultural Sector of the country receives the  smallest portion of the national budget.  As a result, Agriculture is dying in our country.
