President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved a plan to redo a rice production program called 'Masagana 99' that his father, deceased former President Ferdinand Marcos, implemented in 1973. The President explained to rice industry stakeholders on Wednesday, May 31, that the Masagana Rice Industry Development Program aims to reach 97.5 percent rice sufficiency in five years. 'I don't think it has to be 100 percent … But I think 97.5 is a good enough number,' Marcos said during a Rice Industry Convergence Meeting in Quezon City.
