Thach Di Thi Phuong Thuy and her husband have their eyes glued to a smartphone screen in their tiny studio apartment in an industrial township near Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. They are on a video call with their son Sarum, 11, who is keen to show them the cashew nuts he helped his grandmother peel that day.
Sarum lives with his brother Saruon, 13, about 180km away in the Mekong Delta, where they are being raised by the extended families of Thuy and her husband Thach Saret, who are both ethnic Khmers.

Well and good if it actually happens. It would mean that the President is not impervious to valid criticisms against an ill-advised course of action that will bring more harm than good on all practical aspects involving the hog industry.
I hope the President considers the plight of the dying industry affecting 80,000 backyard hog raisers along with hundreds of thousands of farmhands and their families - and the foregone revenues the government will deal with, especially at this time of the pandemic.
That being said, Department of Agriculture officials claimed during the Senate hearing to have based their action on their own analysis, which could be self-serving and designed to suit their purpose.

The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), in a statement issued Wednesday, April 7, reiterated its call for the Duterte administration to “make good on its promise of doubling teachers’ salaries” amid high prices, raging pandemic, and costly distance learning – among others.
“More than 9 out of 10 public school teachers receive salaries that are way lower than the family cost of living,” ACT Secretary-General Raymond Basilio said. “This speaks volumes on how their families suffer with soaring prices amid the health and economic crisis, while they bear the brunt of the ill-funded distance learning program,” he added.
