PAGADIAN CITY (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Aksyon Demokratiko standard-bearer Isko Moreno Domagoso on Wednesday (April 6) vowed that if elected president, he will invest on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses and Agriculture to enable Filipino students in Zamboanga del Sur to become competitive with other countries and to ensure food security.

Moreno maintained that reinforcing agriculture courses in Zamboanga del Sur is very important considering that the province, like almost all of the rural provinces in the Philippines, is mostly reliant on agriculture for the bulk of its economy.
