  • 06 the Sugar Bloc Prolems and Opportunities.Pdf
    THE SUGAR BLOC: PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES" by CARMENCITA T. AGUILAR.... I. Introduction A year before the end of the Marcos government, the fall of the sugar industry was dramatized when Asia Week Magazine featured on its cover an emaciated child allegedly a child of a sugar worker in Negros Oc­ cidental. The journalistic intention of a malnourished child on the cover may have been to depict the impact of poverty and hunger on the thousands of people, especially workers, who were dependent on the in­ dustry for their livelihood. The province is identified as a former rich center of the sugar industry in "the West Visayas, at the same time, the hardest hit by the failure of the industry. The set-back on the sugar in­ dustry had caused economic losses to planters and millers in the province • while poverty and related sufferings besieged the masses of workers. While social reformers were happy at the turn of events, many jobless and poor people found repose by joining the insurgents. The main issue that many were concerned with, then, was why the sugar industry had reached its ebb when it had always been traditionally regarded as the backbone of the Philippine economy. It seemed un­ believable to think that the industry could self-destruct when it was con­ sidered the life-blood for both rich and poor in the industry. Looking at the government policy for the industry, it is specially noted that as a result of the Cuban djjis, the industry's expansion was boosted during • the 1962-1967 period with-the increase of the sugar quota to the United States.
