Regarding to MindaNews more provinces in Eastern Mindanao and many parts of the Philippines have been reported attacked by swarms of field rats , in an infestation that an official blamed on climate change and human interference in Nature's food chain.
After farmers in eight barangays in the northern hinterlands of Davao City whose farms were devastated appealed for help, reports indicated that areas in South Cotabato, North Cotabato and Sarangani areas were also attacked by rats.
My friend and City Agriculture Officer Leo Avila III said that rats attaked provinces in the Visayas and in the rice-producing areas in Central Luzon too. I learned from Leo Avila, he would also ask the Provincial Agriculture Office in Davao del Norte to confirm reports of rat infestation in its northwestern town of Talaingod which shares boundary with Davao City's rat-infested northern barnagys.
Taking necessary measures to lessen the rat infestation in rice and corn-producing areas in the provinces and put-up systems of preventing future occurrences seem to be essential and inevitable.
