                    [Summary] => ANGELES CITY — The Pambansang Katipunan ng Makabayang Magbubukid (PKMM) warned yesterday that the passage of Senate bill No. 2553, which allows beneficiaries of the government’s land reform program to use their farmlands as collateral for loans, would finally lead to the "total collapse" of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).


PKMM national chairperson Pablo Rosales said the bill would not "boost the productivity of CARP beneficiaries" despite the claim of its authors.

"The government would suffer a net loss from  a higher floor tax and I’m sure the Department of Finance would also oppose a higher price base," Board of Investments managing head Gregory Domingo said.
