Within a year of taking office, my predecessor increased the NFA’s debt to 18 billion pesos. In the course of the next eight and a half years, her administration imported much more rice than was needed, resulting in 177 billion pesos in debt by the time she stepped down.
我们从国家食品管理局这家以确保大米供应的国营机构开始着手。 从1972年到2000年间，NFA负债达129亿比索（约2.9亿美元）。我的前任在就职当年就把债务推高到180亿比索。在此后的8年半时间里，她领导的政府进口了过多的大米，致使她下台时债务总额累积到了1770亿比索。
