Farmers and fisherfolk marked World Food Day on Monday by urging President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to address hunger by rejecting all reclamation activities on Manila Bay and to stave off inflation. Peasant groups like Pamalakaya, Amihan, and Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) went to the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to protest the rising prices of goods while they suffer the brunt of reclamation and importation policies that affect their harvest.
