Mr. President, esteemed colleagues, and fellow advocates for the agriculture sector, good afternoon!
The dying salt industry will finally breathe new life after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed into law Republic Act No 11985 (An Act Strengthening and Revitalizing the Salt Industry in the Philippines, Appropriating Funds Thereof), said Senator Cynthia A. Villar. The senator, principal sponsor of the bill, said this is a "welcome development" and "we thank President Marcos" for this opportunity and huge help to revive the country's salt industry. She said this is also a 'prayer heard' for the sector's workers and stakeholders who have been appealing to revitalize the salt industry. Furthermore, she said all coastal communities will be able to again produce salt.
