Rice Shortage.
This two words has been bugging the local news for the past weeks now. And honestly I find it boring to watch, you know why? Because it has no excitement at all. I enjoyed the news last january-march especially the Lozada Expose on the NBN-ZTE Deal Scandal and the Inter-Faith Prayer Rally in Makati which I thought would put an end to the corrupt and bogus regime of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. But it didnt. People once again wasted the opportunity all because of one reason. Who will take over? I remember during a Symposium at the University of St. La Salle here in Bacolod that invited then Congressman now Senator Chiz Escudero, former DSWD Sec. Dinky Soliman and former presidential candidate and evangelist Bro. Eddie Villanueva.
A very old lawyer but a former top caliber in the law courts here in Negros and a respected lawyer nationwide, Atty. Arsenio Acuña. He answered that question saying "out of 84 million Filipinos, don't tell me their is no one more worthy and capable to run the country?"
And I agree with him, a wrong or evil done should not be tolerated just because there is a lack of alternative. Actually their are a lot of alternatives.
Now, going back to the Rice shortage, is there really a rice shortage in the country? or too much exported high quality rice in the Philippines? We have the best rice in the world but sadly it is exported to other countries for profit and what is left for "Juan" to eat is the lowest quality rice that goes by the name "NFA" that is packed with all the chemicals and smells so bad too. Very unhealthy to eat. But does the poor have a choice? Of course not, they choose to buy this cheap rice or die of hunger. And yet in Malacañang almost everyday there is a feast for the countries leaders and government officials allied with GMA.
Once again sad too say, we, the common tao is victimized by corruption. Unless corruption and the corrupt will be wiped out in the government, Juan dela Cruz will never achieve freedom and emancipation from poverty, hunger, homelessness, etc.
Let us continue to do what should be done and continue to fight for what should be fought.
REMOVE GMA AND HER COHORTS IN GOVERNMENT!
REPLACE IT WITH A RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT CENTERED ON GOD AND THE FILIPINO PEOPLE!!!
