MANILA, Philippines – The Senate Committee on Agriculture, headed by Senator Cynthia Villar, warned against the possible food shortage in the Philippines in 2016 due farmers and fishermen migrating to Metro Manila to find more lucrative jobs.
Villar added that her committee is now looking into alternative means to supplement the income of agricultural workers.
