The Philippine presidential palace has squashed claims by Senator Imee Marcos that the government is importing cabbage, which she said would harm local farmers. According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Laurel Tiu Jr., there's no plan to import cabbage, debunking the senator's allegations as "fake news." This move is crucial as it reassures local farmers, particularly in the Cordillera region, that their livelihoods won't be threatened by foreign cabbage imports. It highlights the administration's commitment to protecting domestic agriculture.
