𝘼𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙙 𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 | Cris Ann Villarante

She was determined to become a physician someday. It was a promise she made herself the day her father passed away. But life has a different plan for her, and she was willing to take that path.

Cris Ann Villarante, 27, started her government stint in 2016 as a field enumerator for DENR Region 5. It was her first job after finishing her bachelor's degree in Biology. This job made her realize that she can, after all, heal people by protecting the environment.

Villarante is now an Ecosystems Management Specialist I where she performs the job of a field biologist. She conducts biodiversity assessments and monitoring. She spends most of her time doing fieldwork – from ridges to wetlands to caves, mangroves, seagrass, and underwater –documenting and observing flora and fauna inside a protected area. Outputs from assessment and monitoring activities are shared with the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) of Region 5. The PAMB uses them as references for management resolutions and to educate and involve the communities in environmental protection.

She admits that although she enjoys her work so much, the thought of a career change sometimes comes to mind. She is in fact exposed to hazards and dangers at work, which makes her dread for her life.
She once came dangerously close to falling into a cave, being bitten by a poisonous snake, and their boat capsizing while doing their tasks. She was once nearly rushed to a hospital when her nose started to profusely bleed after an underwater examination.
But at the end of the day, Villarante would still choose to stay. For her, the fulfillment her work gives is priceless. More than a source of income, her work has become a passion. She wants to believe that through her commitment to public service, she may be able stir people toward positive behavioural change. Being an Alagad ng Kalikasan, she contributed a lot in the protection, conservation, and management of our country’s natural wonders

𝘼𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙙 𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 features environmental frontliners' stories of courage and resilience. Despite being exposed to numerous risks while carrying out their duties, they continue to fulfill their jobs with the utmost devotion and fervor.

Diokno Shows True Colors:
Tells PFRMJr. To Keep RTL

Just as I suspected, Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno has proven to be a loyal member of the cabal of Neo-Liberal Economists who sees food production as just another economic activity rather than an "existential imperative" for the nation according to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

By publicly challenging the campaign promise of the new President to review and amend the Rice Tariffication Law, Diokno has shown his true colors and allegiance to the gang of Economists who brought the country's Food Security situation to its precarious state now, largely dependent on imports.

The power to appoint whoever he wishes is totally a Presidential prerogative and I will never question Pres. Marcos' selection of Diokno as the head of the Economic Team of his administration.

But Diokno should be told to just confine himself to matters of the Economy because the new President had already publicly manifested that "Food is not just a trade commodity."

Diokno either does not understand Agriculture or is simply anti-Agriculture.

This was my conclusion when he questioned my proposal as Agriculture Secretary to former President Rodrigo Duterte during a Cabinet meeting to increase the coverage of irrigation facilities because we needed to irrigate 80,000 hectares every year to catch up with population growth.

Citing data he was reading from a piece of paper, Diokno said increased irrigation coverage did not result in increased production.

Muntik akong mahulog sa upuan ko nang marinig ko yon.

In a Congressional hearing on the President's Budget, Congressmen asked Diokno, as Budget Secretary, why very little money was allocated for Agriculture and his answer was "It is a sunset industry."

Now, he is telling his Principal publicly to renege on his commitment to the Filipino rice farmers to review and amend the Rice Tariffication Law.

Sabi nya, okey na daw ngayon kasi hindi na contributor to inflation ang presyo ng bigas.

Mukhang nakalimutan (o kinakalimutan) ni Diokno na bago ang Fake Rice Crisis (I will write about this later) in July to August 2018, ang presyo ng bigas sa palengke was P36 per kilo.

The National Food Authority (NFA) also had a P27/kilo rice available for poor Filipino families.

Ngayon ang presyo ng magandang klaseng imported na bigas ay P40 to P60 at nawala na ang P27/kilo na NFA rice.

Bago ang RTL, ang presyo ng palay ng mga magsasaka ay umabot ng P20/kilo pero ngayon bumagsak ng P14 at meron pang P12 sa ibang bahagi ng bansa.

Both the consumers and the farmers did not benefit from the RTL.

Kung meron mang nakinabang ng malaki, sila yong mga importers at mga traders, kasama na ang mga technical smugglers who misdeclared the classification of imported rice to pay less tariff.

The call of the Philippine Rice Industry sector is a review and amendment of the Rice Tariffication Law, not a total repeal, because there are loopholes which must be plugged.

If Diokno believes otherwise, I am willing to face him in a public debate on the Rice Tariffication Law.
