Katarungan farmers (File photo) DHON DAGANASOL, 49, admitted that “being a farmer is difficult and even more difficult today.”
“Because of climate change, the weather is getting more unpredictable,” said Daganasol as he recalled how the 2013 Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) and other succeeding typhoons leveled his farm in Carigara, Leyte.
“As 2020 is about to end, it is sad to know that the pandemic is still with us, he added, citing how the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) greatly affects the small farmers because of lockdowns.
While the government said it is doing its share to uplift the lives of the farmers, Daganasol said they have not received enough.
