It could get somewhat confusing. An article in this week’s issue of The Economist has declared microfinance not just a success but also profitable enough for top tier microlenders to manage on their own. Yet, I found out last week in Sariaya, Quezon, the vegetable farmers that government has targeted for special attention are still dependent on traditional 5/6 lenders and indebted to seed and fertilizer dealers and middlemen.

I was covering the Senate when Sen. Ed Angara sponsored the bill that eventually took the responsibility for higher education away from DepEd and lodged it in a new body called the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The reason behind the move appears to make sense then. DepEd is saddled with too much responsibility and making it concentrate on basic education would perhaps enable it to do its job better.
