I dont think nag PANIC na ang AMERICANS bai tungod sa RECESSION , they are opting other revenues . Part na siya sa " PAKULO " because of the ELECTION just around the corner and it will be GWB ending term .

ANyways back to the topic .... mao na akong nakataw-an . I cant blame the threadstarter whom is GIDDYBOY regarding sa polls by starting it because thats where you can check just how STOOPID we can be . LIman ka ug 9 kabuok ni botar na sala ni PGMA and murag 7 sa ENTIRE GOVT mao naay " RICE CRISIS " karon .... hehehehe wala sila KYAFEH !!

asa na ma palit ang NFA rice nga tag 18.25 ang kilo

Is there really rice shortage? I don't think so. Just last night, the news featured rice traders in Bulacan and Nueva Ecija. Sacks if not tons of rice are being repacked to kilos of rice to be distributed all over the country. This is just a manifestation that there is no rice shortage in the Philippines.

What the country is experiencing right now is increasing price of rice which is experienced all over the East Asian region. Since rice is our staple food, we still need to import rice even if we produce our own. As such, the rising price of rice necessarily affects the price of rice that we currently have. But that does not in any way mean that we have a looming crisis in rice shortage.

As early as now, the government is providing ample supply of rice all over the country by providing retailer trucks of NFA rice. As such, the people won't panic that they will have nothing to eat because there's plenty of rice supply anyway. Also, with the coming rainy season, the government is already negotiating with other countries so as to supply us with sufficient rice in the future. The concern on rice shortage is much more apparent than real, I should say.
