[Title] => Angara urges boycott of Aussie agri goods
[Summary] => Senator and former Agriculture Secretary Edgardo J. Angara urged a boycott of Australia’s major agricultural exports to the Philippines in retaliation for the latter’s adamant rejection of Philippine tropical fruits for the last 12 years.
"We have to play hardball. The general policy is to place national interest before anything else. It should be tit for tat," Angara said.
He said filing a case with the World Trade Organization (WTO) is futile.
