TODAY’S HEADLINE…
I had the newspaper early on in my hands but I got really irritated that I threw it away… what irritated me on today’s headlines???
THE SO-CALLED RICE SHORTAGE
…its on national tv everyday…people lining up for the NFA rice for a kilo of rice for as early as 5 am… But did you also know that farmers are lining up for rice millers and traders in order to sell their palay? This month is harvest month and we are expected to increase rice production by a larger percentage… Something that “might” eventually reduce the price of rice… but this is the ideal..this is what might happen….EVENTUALLY IT WONT… TRADERS/MILLERS are not purchasing the palays sold by the farmers for fear that they will be raided by the National Bureau of Investigation or the Department of Justice….Where is justice in that?!!!!! When all this sacks of palay may have been able to feed countless of Filipinos…now they are left in the hands of farmers to decay…to go to waste….Can you see the logic in this???? I am no one …I am not an expert on this but all I can say now is…ISN’T THIS ALL A PART OF GRAND CONSPIRACY ? RICE CARTEL? THAT INDEED NOW THE PHILIPPINES IS DICTATING THE PRICE OF RICE IN THE WORLD MARKET?!!!!! SIMPLE ECONOMICS..ONE CREATES THE DEMAND AND IF THE SUPPLY IS NOT ENOUGH …VOILA…SHORTAGE! WHEN SUPPLY BECOMES AVAILABLE…U THREATEN SUPPLIERS AGAINST HOARDING… SHORTAGE REMAINS.. AND THE PRICE? IT CONTINUES TO RISE!!!
THE BORACAY INCIDENT…
…. A troop of Boracay visitors was stranded in the Manila Domestic Airport for hours.. including the presidential daughter.. while the rest waited in vain the luckiest daughter was hauled out of the airport via a helicopter ride to God knows where…
….My point is.. whether Ms Arroyo was hauled out of the airport to Boracay or to anywhere else..hey that is taxpayer’s money!!! So many are hungry yet just because Miss Arroyo is holed up at the airport for hours…the government is willing to spend thousands of pesos just to end her ordeal…what a lucky girl…I NEED NOT SAY ANYTHING MORE….
