I heard a lot of news and gossips around about the increase of its price and because of that i expected a little increase. Not until I saw the recent price of the usual 2 kilos super white rice that i buy. It only cost 55 pesos before and guess what, it’s already 75 pesos. Imagine, a 20 pesos increase. I never expected that it can increase this high and it did struck me as a concerned buyer. Here’s another thing. The NFA rice that they sell for a cheaper price for the Filipino people is already limited to 2 kilos of rice for each customer. Come to think of it. Rice is considered as the staple food in the Philippines right? How come there are such happenings as these? Is there really a rice shortage in our country? I ask some people around and listen to some news. Some say there are no rice shortage others say that maybe the government is using it to divert the issue from Lozada’s case. oh well,whatever it is its up to you to decide..
