"This house would force and finance the children of farmers to take up
agriculture- related courses and pursue agricultural careers."
In this motion our group was appointed as the opposition (Yes!). I am a hundred
percent against this motion. Even if we say that our country has less farmers and we
need more, that doesn’t mean that we have to force the farmers’ children to take up agricultural course. It will be
okay if their children agree to it, but the reality is they are aware of the hardships of being a farmer so they wouldn't
want to become one. It is a violation of the human rights, the right to vote. Also, it is the taxes of the people that
they will use. Once they graduate, there is a big possibility that they will either work in services like call center
agents or they will work in line of what they have studied but there is no heart and passion to it. Today, most
children who graduate from agricultural courses happen to be working as call center agents. Things will only
get worse if you force them. The people’s taxes will only be put into waste. Since we are to use tax, why not
utilize it to give more compensation to farmers or agriculture related jobs? We could give them more
land to plant on, more benefits, and health care insurance. Give the future generations the
willingness to take this course rather than forcing them to do so. We could advertise agriculture in the K-12
curriculum. In this way the agriculture sector of the Philippines will improve and you have given everyone the
right to choose for their future.
