'Repeal Rice Tariffication Law'

Members of various farmers groups hold a protest against the Rice Tariffication Law in front of the National Economic and Development Authority's main gate in Pasig City on Wednesday. President Duterte ordered the Department of Agriculture to suspend the importation of rice to avoid a “food crisis,” months after signing into law a rice tariffication bill which lifted restrictions on rice imports.
