Cong. Manoy Wilbert “Wise” Lee continues his advocacy to increase income of Filipino farmers by filing the Agarwood Industry Development Act, a law designed to foster sustainable growth and protect the future of the Agarwood industry. With this measure, Lee aims to regulate and expand the industry while preventing illegal poaching and exploitation of Aquilaria.

“Kasabay ng pag-commercialize, dapat may malinaw na patakaran para maiwasan ang pag-abuso,” Lee stated, emphasizing the importance of regulation to safeguard both the environment and the livelihood of farmers.
