Commentary on Carp Extension: FARMLANDS, YES; SUBDIVISIONS, NO

LET US INSURE THAT ALL THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE CARP AND CARP EXTENSION RESOLUTION SHALL MAINTAIN THE FARMLANDS AS FARMLANDS, NOT AS SUBDIVISIONS. CARPLANDS ARE SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE FOOD, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE, NOT SHELTER WHICH REQUIRES ANOTHER SPACE IN THE LAND.

IN THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES, WE COULD STILL VIEW ACRES AND ACRES OF GREENLAND FROM MANILA TO UP NORTH. BUT NOW, THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED TO CONCRETE BUILDINGS, HOUSES AND WHAT-HAVE-YOU.

LET US RESPECT MOTHER NATURE WHICH IS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE CARP. DISRESPECT OF MOTHER NATURE RESULTS IN HUNGER AND FAMINE. LET US PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING NOW, IMMEDIATELY.
