The govt is set to start distributing rice at P20.00/kg in the Visayas. This post comments:
1. It is to be financed by the LGU; it is not an organic P20.00 rice; It costs P33.00/kg and the P13.00 difference is to be funded by LGU.
2. Why come out it with this during the election period.? It is clearly politicking to time this move during a campaign period. What is the stand of COMELEC? It is to be noted that admin candidates are weak in Visayas and Mindanao, arising from other issues.
3. Others say that the rice is Peg2 rice - substandard and finely ground suitable for pets livestock and other animals.
