There is no rice shortage. There never was. It was just an illusion.

Para ra sa pagdivert sa attention sa mga scandals.

rice is expensive because there is a big demand. you have people in developing countries that are now wanting to eat good rice. now they have jobs , they can afford and they want to eat good . so that creates a demand.

also you have high prices of gasoline. that increases the cost to produce rice and deliver the rice to the market

high demand, low supply. a lot of people worldwide are learning to eat rice.

what drives hoarders to hoard? BECAUSE OF LOW SUPPLY.

while the fertilizer scam probably added to the situation, we were already importing rice even before, before GMA.

what compelled me to think that this rice shortage is really valid because even here in the U.S. wholesalers are rationing the sale to each buyer.

i don't think there is a conspiracy theory here.

nagdoda bya ko niay conpiracy since the arabs contolling gas
the whites(caucasians) are controlling the food.

but I now dismiss my case of conspiracy.

gas is increasing production of rice plus demands from developing nations who wants to eat good now since they can now afford.

world wide case ni na ang price of rice increase also gasoline.

I always put the blame to the gasoline people.

I heard us car companies are now planning to make fuel efficient cars that goes 40-50 miles per gallon.

i think this is simply a diversionary tactic to keep the people's attention away from the scandals. news earlier said the price may increase up to P50 per kilo. this is too much if it happens. i thought GMA is saying that our economy is stabilized and all that?
