What if Filipino families start producing their own veggies and fruits? Wouldn’t that alleviate some of the economic woes of the underprivileged class? It could be done at the barangay level - with help from the gov’t but tended by the locals. The people get to literally reap the fruits of their labor (monetary and otherwise).

Of course, some soil are more fertile than others but surely some sort of bartering could be worked out. If Place A could produce pechay (cabbage), maybe arrangements could be made with Place B who has an abundance of kamatis (tomatoes).

Another possible arrangement would be Place C with its rich soil but short of laborers. Place D could supply the laborers and profit sharing could be effected between the two places.

Times are hard. Just maybe what we need are drastic solutions.

Your comments/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
