I think we'll have more to go around, instead of barely enough.
I have a friend whose family owns, according to the DENR, the largest private plantation in the country. And let me tell you, the only thing he's worried about now is finishing his Environmental Science degree so he can manage his land well. He's basically assured of having something to eat, and something to do for the rest of his life.
I'm thinking of the exact point where we lost our identity as a country rich in natural resources, and one rich with human resources instead. Maybe at the time of the OFW boom. Or maybe somewhere in 2000 - when I didn't have to read my idealistic grade school araling panlipunan books anymore.
