Producers can not keep prices of prime commodities high forever; it will contract the economy and their sales

It is more fun criticizing

Petron profits at P7.7 billion

We are complaining about high prices of prime commodities -  fuel, energy, food and others.  For most of them as in the case of an energy  company doubling its profits this can be done only briefly -  it is unsustainable

High prices will reduce the purchasing power of consumers (assuming  household income is constant) and recession may set in.   It is like shooting our foot.

So every one patience and businessmen, more discernment

How to deal with food wastage in the Philippines

It is more fun criticizing

In 2021, the nutrition Council of the Philippines determined that the daily food wastage stands at 1,700 metric tons a day enough to feed 3 million individuals. Thats a lot.  The factors that contribute to this are:smuggling, poor access to market, spillage, and lack of facilities

Most of wastage occurs in household

UN findings on food wastage

A total of 1.3 billions of tons of food are wasted annually. And yet 800 million people go hungry

What can be done to address this wastage:

1.  Storage and post harvest facilities;;   (mechanized.   Many inventions are available at CLSU in Munioz Nueva Ecija

2. Refrigeration and cold storage facilities

3.  Food preserves:  tomatoes, pickles, Kimchi, dillls canned or in bottles.  Farms in Europe

     do this.  I know a friend who has dragon fruit farm who ferments excess produce to be

    wine or vinegar. No fruit rots or is wasted.   Just thinking or being smart

Some civil societies buy excess food in bulk and distribute this to the needy.

Some students collect about to be thrown food from resto and give this to those who are starving

In the Philippines, 1,717 metric tons of food is wasted each day, the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology said. Likewise, the International Rice Research Institute said P23 million worth of rice is wasted daily, enough to feed 4.3 million individuals.Oct 22, 2021

Does God want you to be poor and to suffer?

It is more fun criticizin

This question is often asked by persons who could have been poor or those who are suffering in many religious forum  In a way some philosophers are correct that religions is being seen by people as a pain killer (like an opiate or shabu)

The religious leader said the following:

1.  God does not want you to be poor. There is a reason why some people are poor and some are rich.  This dichotomy is needed so that there are people who are poor who can work for the rich.  If everybody was rich, no one would labor and work

2. It was our destiny that we should eat from the sweat on our face (it means that a person has really worked very hard) to earn his bread.

3. God is on the side of the poor and He wants poor people to enter the Kingdom of God.  And in the other life, in the judgement day, the poor who are virtuous shall gain eternal life.  Take note it is not automatic poor people to enter the kingdom of God.

4.  Suffering make people tough.  When we ask God for something he gives us something to learn to be better than before.    Apprenticeship, tribulations, bad experiences make us tough and hard to fight challenges of life.

"Ang laki sa layaw karaniwan ay hubad,"

"Ang laki sa tubig mahina

From Bible Believers - why does God allow believers to suffer
