Price of rice!

In the past 30 days, price of rice in the Philippines has soared to new heights. The president said its a global issue. Well, it looks like indeed. But the government starts arresting rice hoarder and those taking advantage of the situation. It only shows one thing - that the government is in-efficient in handling situation like these.

In the end, its the masses that suffer. But just the same, she should not say that the economy is improving.

For the sake of rice

In the Philippines, you can't buy rice just by having your hard earned money. You had to have embarrassing moment like lining up for rice under the heat of scorching sun or under heavy rain to be able to buy 2 kilos of the staple. A waste of time and effort for these deserving taxpayers. Too bad for an agricultural country who shares technology to its neighboring countries.

The government claim to have plenty of rice. But why Filipinos have to suffer these humiliations?
