As of now, my country has a big problem with rice hoarding that is why they made a law against it. The thing is, one of the provinces in our country that produces the most rice is Pangasinan. Most of the hoarded rice came from there that’s why now they have a huge problem. Not that many wants to buy rice from them anymore.

People here are so gullible. They believe everything that they hear and see on television that they seem to forget to think at all. I mean, there has to be standards on how you can say that a rice sack is hoarded. Before they made the law, they should have dictated those standards early on. What kind of law would that be If they cannot distinguish the legal with the illegal?

If this continues on, more rice producing cities will run out of business because of their lack of ability to think ahead of time and anticipate what can happen and the different scenarios that may play out in the end. Lawmakers should be able to think that. But then again, we are talking about lawmakers that have been appointed into position because of who they know and not so much on what they know. In this country, it is all about the people you know that has the power. It’s about clinging and sucking up to them.
