LUCENA CITY — A piece of legislation, which has been described as the government’s Christmas gift to coconut farmers is just two steps away from becoming law. She said she would ask President Duterte to give the measure as a Christmas gift to farmers. David Suarez said he, too, was appealing to the President to give the measure as a Christmas gift to coconut farmers. The bill’s signing into law, the governor said, “will be a fitting Christmas gift” for coconut farmers, who were now struggling with low prices of copra. Suarez said coconut farmers in Quezon had long been waiting for the release of the coconut levy fund.
