(File photo) MANILA Senator Robinhood Padilla on Thursday urged concerned government agencies to help Filipino farmers and fishermen to become businessmen in order to alleviate them from poverty. During a hearing conducted by the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship, Padilla asked representatives of agencies if there are programs to organize farmers and fishers into cooperatives, and to help them run their own businesses. "Hindi po ba sila pwedeng i-train na ang kanilang raw materials.. lagi na lang kasing raw kukunin ng trader, maiiwan ang magsasaka o mangingisda, kikita ang trader. Di po ba tayo makagawa ng paraan na tulad sa ibang bansa, ang magsasaka at mangingisda nila ang may matatawag na magandang buhay (Can we not train them how to trade their raw materials.. traders always get their products raw, the farmer or fisherman get left behind, and the trader profit. Can we not find a way to be like other countries where farmers and fishers have a good life)
