Modernizing Philippine Agriculture: Forever in the Piloting Stage?

Every so often, the Philippine Department of Agriculture will announce that some sort of new agricultural technology is currently in the piloting change.

Every now and then, the DA will announce that some new type of fish or some new certified seed or even some new revolutionary farming method is being tested.

Months after, you find the same news paper article and re-read the article.  You take a look at some of the farms around you and you ask around.  After a few minutes, you realize, none of these supposedly new and great developments in Philippine agriculture has reached your town.
