Unlike some other instances that we saw in their…

Hence, twelve years after the Beijing Declaration and Platform of Action (BPA), the observation appears the same, “the plight of women living in rural and remote areas deserves special attention given the stagnation of development in such areas.”…

    As what we’ve think earlier about the hardworks of the farmers, we then came to asked ourselves, “Why government didn’t give much salary to our fellow Filipino farmers?” We’ll others said that maybe our economy doesn’t have enough money to give to all farmers such great amount of salary.
