President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. has recreated the photo of his father and namesake with United States President Lyndon Johnson, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Director General Robert Chandler, and some scientists on October 26, 1966.

On Tuesday, Marcos, who also heads the Agriculture department, visited the IRRI headquarters in Los Baños, Laguna, where he reenacted his father’s photo with IRRI Director General Jean Balié and three others.

"Mula noon hanggang ngayon, agrikultura ang susi natin para sa isang bansang masagana!" he wrote on Facebook as he shared photos from his visit.

(From then on until now, agriculture is the key to an abundant country!)

The President also visited the International Rice Genebank, which holds the biggest collection of rice genetic diversity in the world.

He likewise witnessed the demonstration of the use of drones for rice research and production.

The IRRI is the world’s leading research organization dedicated to reducing poverty, hunger, and malnutrition through rice science.
