It’s not like everything’s fool-proof, right? But the way I see it, the government or the people, whoever they are, controlling the reins of this country is losing it. I don’t know who is/are responsible because, frankly, if you point a finger at anyone in office, they’ll weasel their way out by pointing their puckers to somebody else. You can’t really pin anyone down. And that’s the problem. No one is brave enough to raise their hands and claim responsibility for all this sh*t that we’re in. But then again, all these troubles we’ve been having are not the sole efforts of one man. You could say it’s a collaborative effort of a team working against progress and moral decency. And, as they say, there’s no ‘I’ in team.

It started with that NO RICE SHORTAGE thing that made a superstar out of NFA and Sec. Arthur Yap.

No loans for the small farmers, no possible profit. How could they sustain their crops? Even if the 2007 and 2000 census figures had the lowest annual population growth rate recorded for the Philippines since the 1960s, the number of farmers expected to provide the whole country with the staple crop is just too small and under compensated to carry such responsibility.
