"Nasaan ang plano?" - Lawyer to Leni Robredo following her pledge to double agriculture budget to P116B if she becomes President?

In one of her election-related statements, VP Leni Robredo said she will commit P116B to the agriculture budget during her 1sy year in office if she becomes President.

Well and good.

However, if you read the FB post of the Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles of the Luminous, it appears the Vice President just pulled the figure out of thin air to woo the votes of the agriculture sector, especially the farmers and their families.

According to Atty. Trixie, she read the article and she can’t find the specifics, where Robredo will allocate the money in the agriculture sector. The details she found was about decreasing our imports. Other than that, nada but just double the budget of DA.

Atty. Trixie ended the brief FB post by throwing back the question Leni Robredo asked to President Duterte in relation to the country’s covid response, “Where is the plan?”

Here’s how netizens react to Robredo’s election promise to double DA budget.

It’s just a campaign promise to counter on a very clear agricultural program of BBM which the latter announced even before filing of his COC.

Kilan ka pa ng double budget para sa kapakanan ng mahihirap? Kung kayo lng nga masunod no budget para sa lahat pero more budget to corrupt

Very true!! No details and just lip service. Arithmetic in question

Binobola lng kau magsasaka ni leni lugaw..pra makakuha ng boto..tandaan ang sinungaling ay kptid ng magnanakaw

Khit doble doble pa ang budget ng DA kung walang plataporma madam hanggang sa pagangkat lang ng bigas maubos yong pondong sinasabi nyo, ang mabuti pagisipan nyong maigi kung paano nyo bilhin ang prudukto ng mga magsasaka sa atin lalo na Ang palay kc ang umaasenso na nakikita namin ay ang buyer lang,mura ang palay mahal bigas at abono halos lahat na na ginagamit sa pagsasaka

Hindi talaga mapagkakatiwalaan… Walang alam sa buhay ng mga magsasaka. Huwag kami mula pa noong 1987 ganyan mga pangako… Mas may alam pa sa agriculture si manny pinol sayo.

You may read the Luminous brief FB reaction post.

Binasa ko yung article at walang nakalagay dun kung saan ilalaan ang pera. Ang pinaka detalye ay yung babawasan daw ang imports. Other than that, basta doblehin ang budget.

Medyo… Walang laman.

Akala ba ni Madame mapapabilib tayo komo ba at hahagisan nya ng pera ang Department of Agriculture?

Balik natin yung sinasabi nya dati sa COVID response ni Pangulo:

“Nasaan ang plano?”

Reaction?
