AFA coordinated the interviews and field visits of the Korean television company Munhwa Broadcasting Corp (MBC) for 2 documentaries on the rice crisis in the Philippines. The first production was aired in MBC channel Korea last April 25. It featured the interviews with AFA Secretary General and a PAKISAMA farmer from Bulacan province. The second production was aired last May 14. It featured PAKISAMA farmers from Quezon province. MBC is one of the top 3 TV stations in Korea and the airing of the documentaries helped create awareness on the rice crisis and the need to come up with short and long term solutions, especially policies supporting farmers and agriculture.
