DA, WB eye rural
dev’t for farmers

The Department of Agriculture and the World Bank are eyeing the implementation of the Central Philippines Rural Development Program for six regions, including Central, Western and Eastern Visayas, a press release from the DA said.

CPRDP is a poverty-alleviation initiative that will focus on the expansion and establishment of alternative areas for staple foods, when the traditional production areas fail to provide the required volume of the market because of climate change, the press release also said.

To be patterned after the Mindanao Rural Development Plan that is now on its second phase, the CPRDP seeks to improve incomes in rural communities and achieve food security through infrastructure, financing, capacity-building, and other support services, Secretary Proceso Alcala of DA said in the press release.

Legislators divided
on nuclear power

BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

There is widespread objection to the proposal to open the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, and legislators are divided on the issue.

Rep. Pryde Henry Teves (Neg. Or., 3rd District) said that varied pronouncements from first world countries on nuclear power plants, are creating confusion.

While first world countries are telling us to go for renewable energy like wind, hydro or solar, they are also building so many nuclear plants, he added.
