Please all RICE!

Wala na daw bigas (There’s no more rice) would you believe it? Yet IRI or the International Rice Institute have trained so many scientist from all over the globe in our very soil. These scientists have contributed much in their respective country’s rice production. Just take a look at Japan, Indonesia and Singapore which are all industrialized countries yet they have an over spill of rice supply. But look at us. Only 4% of our land is industrialized, the rest are agricultural in nature since the time of Magellan, yet we are lacking on the basic food group of Filipinos which we ourselves mastered its production through IRI. Label me as skeptic but I don’t believe that we have a shortage of rice. Here in our province alone you cannot feel the shortage of grains yet the price of per kilo of rice is rising. Why? because it’s not on the shortage of rice…

Its on the RICE-ing cost of oil, RICE-ing cost of electricity, RICE-ing cost of everything that can RICE except the height of the president. Even the cost of corruption and cases of over-expenditure is RICE-ing. That’s why many of our citizens cannot but help raise their own eyebrows in our condition.

If oil price is high, the cost of rice transportation will also increase. If electricity is high, the cost of milling the grains will also increase. And if corruption is high (knock knock Jocjoc Bolante) the money that should have fed many starving Filipinos will only go to the pockets of the few. See the cause and effect of this simple economic viscous cycle?

Pero Madame President through her another mouthpiece Usec Bernie Fondevilla bragged that under the President, RICE productivity grew… O eh bakit may shortage? (then why is there any shortage?).

Isn’t it amusing that they said that there is a rice shortage while the other said there is an increase in rice production? Don’t tell me they will again blame it on the Population?

You see, this administration really knows how to throw the blame on others. Randy David is right, from the very start, the president only knows how to fix the problem– short term. That’s why when the same problem a-RICE again, they can’t do anything except patch it with another quick fix. I don’t know but it seems that importing rice from other countries will just open the door for another set of corruption. Sa customs na lang magtataka ka pa ba naman…

I will bet, few years from now, if this RICE-ing will not stop, the dead will soon RICE from the grave…

I say let us all RICE and ask everyone in the Cabinet to RICE from their filthy seats and Hang themselves on the dorrknob. Period.

    Very interesting.

    A sad state of affairs.

    I am all for protecting the environment (please see my latest on thekingpin68), but this major green trend in the West presently could have an effect on which crops are developed and if production of certain products goes down, prices could go up.

    sa palagay ko ate wala. this is another propaganda of the powers that be. Dito na lang sa amin halos ilang tindahan na ng bigas ang nagsara hindi dahil sa shortage kungdi dahil sa dami na nila sa market eh wala na halos makuha customer. Kumbaga nag eexcess pa nga bigas dito sa amin

    i think nagiging enterprising na naman ang mga gahaman, using the excuse of rising oil prices to jack up the prices of everything else.

    pero dito rin sa US ha, sabi ko nga nagtataka ako kasi ang taas din ng presyo ng bigas. yung dating $12 na 25kgs namin $24 na ngayon.

    mukhang mapapa-lowcarb diet na yata ako, haha!
