Rice to Cost P40/kilo?

[chua_riwap]

Sabi nga sa GMA 7 (Reporter's Notebook), in the 70's, we're one of the top rice exporters. Now, we're the top rice importer in Asia and no. 3 in the world.

baba kasi tingin ng mga tao sa magsasaka.

who the hell here dreams of becoming a farmer?

even farmers' kids don't wanna become farmers.

They rather work abroad.

Soon there won't be anyone left to plant rice.

And the Phils. will be importing 100% of its rice.

ang hirap kasi sa atin ay kulang sa irrigation system! sa amin ang daming project na ginawa ang NIA pero ni isa walang natapos... kaya hayun karamihan asa pa rin sa tubig ulan. IMO, dapat yan ang pagtuunan ng pansin nitong si sec Yap at gobyerno.

malabo magkaroon ng rice sufficiency dito sa atin.

local production simply cannot keep up with population growth.

we will remain dependent on rice imports for a long time.

P40 per kilo rice will seem cheap a few months from now.

Govt rice subsidy is unsustainable.

govt people dont care if those projects work or not, gets finished or not...

all they care about is the kickbacks...

they dont care if the farmers can produce rice or not...

pwede naman daw mag import pag kulang...

di naman naisip kung sigurado lagi meron mabili abroad... at kung magkano...

walang vision govt natin...

walang long term goal...

walang plano...

bahala na pag anjan na ang problem... cross the bridge when...

yan ang govt natin...

come to think of it...

yan ang pinoy diba?

bow.
