As more areas are planted to quality hybrid and inbred rice varieties with optimum levels of fertilizer application, attaining self-sufficiency in the country's main staple is within reach.

Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar said that during the last three years of the Duterte administration, the Department of Agriculture (DA) has successfully implemented the Philippine Integrated Rice Program (PIRD) that saw a substantial increase in both the hectarage and average yield per hectare of both hybrid and inbred rice.

"Spanning six plantings, from wet season (WS) 2019 to dry season (DS) 2021-2022, we produced more rice from hybrids and inbreds, as area planted to hybrids peaked at 1.26 million (M) hectares (ha) in WS 2021 and DS 2021-2022, and 2.89 M ha for inbreds in WS 2019 and 2019-2020 DS," said the DA chief.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
