How to murder the garlic farmers in broad daylight. Or, how the Department of Agriculture has become the Department of Bawang Importation. 

THIS NEWS about the garlic importation courtesy of the agriculture secretary we are not going to name because he has proven to all that his name is useless, and this Barron guy who can be named because of his blatant abuse of his power, has become scandalous. 

Imagine the Ilokano garlic farmers laboring it out under the sun, and here we are, here we are leaving them with nothing but that one nasty dream of paying off farming debts that they cannot pay even right after harvest. 

For that is the situation down there, with the importation synchronized during harvest time, and flooding the market with the imported garlic so the garlic farmers will be forced to lower their produce. 

If this is not immoral, it is criminal. 

There are no Ilokano and other garlic farmers around not seeing this thing as murderous? Please!

Ladies and gentlemen: We have gone callous to all these things, and we like it so because we have evolved as masochists, with our leaders whipping us all the time with something as punitive as this unjust governmental act. 

This is murder, plain and simple.
