    Farmers will like this news but the thing is, once given them, can they sustain? Will the government give them enough help to enrich and cultivate their lands? Anyway, farmers must take care of the piece of land that will be given them or else it will be gone. Marami kasing farmers na pag wala ng pera nagsasanla ng kanilang mga lupa tapos hindi na nababawi, kaya nawawala uli

    As they say, they don't make them (land) as they used to. If you have a piece of land, even if it's just a small plot, and even if you don't build any kind of structure on it, its value will still appreciate in the future. Man, i wish i have some land to hold.

    This must be done well for the sake of the farmers. It is about time.

      Thank you, I am back but not always will I log in because I have to limit my time in internet. I have to follow strict orders not to be stressed out. I am good by the way, salamat.

    And may I ask if there is "no strings attached" to this promise? Very opportune but somehow it seems very late too in a sense that it should have been done a long time ago.

    If a promise is made by the government, you can consider it broken
