more rice on my diet please?!!

most Filipino for sure cant live without rice. well except for those who are in diet and for those who are not allowed to eat more rice.
i am working with my family in our small canteen in our Barrangay and everyday i have to go to the market with my mom to buy new ingredients and more stuff for our canteen. we are serving Filipino dishes and of course rice is included.
and speaking of rice?! the price of rice is now 31 up to 34 pesos per kilo.. how's that?!
very shocking yes?!
and i think it will increase more because of rice shortage.
what happened to our rice fields? to our farmers? or better ask what happened to our government who are responsible for this..
Philippines has become rice exporter in early 70's and now suffering from rice shortage?!!!!, this now the anxiety of many Filipinos i know.
well i dont blame the government for this matter..but please do your best!
the national food authority said that they have enough supply for rice but why is the price is still increasing..? well i think the Philippines cant stop the price increase anymore. some said that unfortunately the 31 up to 34 pesos per kilo will increase up to 70 pesos. well thats a big problem i think especially for people like us that cant afford.

well i hope we will have solutions to this problem. and please to concern citizen and try to save rice and to those rice dealers try to be more nice to your rice consumer.

Devotion

today most of the employees are having their vacation because of the holy week.
i know most of the people from other country don't know what holy week for us filipinos.

aside from the 7107 beautiful islands and hospitality, Philippines is also known for its culture and catholic beliefs. th devotion of the Filipinos for god is really amazing.

holy week starts with the palm sunday or what we it "palaspas". palm sunday is the celebration of the triumphant of jesus to enter jerusalem. Filipinos are gathered to churches with their faith and unopened palm tree leaves. catholics believe that "palaspas " or the palm leaves will have extra ordinary healing power once it will be blessed by holy water in a catholic church.

next day will be holy monday to good friday. black saturday which they said the death of jesus. during my days in my province when i was young, the oldies often say. "you are not allowed to take a bath after 3 pm on good friday. just because im still a kid. i will obey them without asking them why?. they said sign of respect to jesus who suffered and died on the cross.

during those days. many activities are being held in different part of the philippines.
one of them is what we call. Puni or pabasa, where some maiden or oldies will sing a book in which saying about how jesus was born to his death up to his resurrection.

also the flagellants. where in some men doing for years as we call it "panata" or just like a promise that they will do flagellants for showing devotion to god for the miracle he did to him or to the part of the family or friends. this is done by walking barefooted and half naked under a midday sun. whipping their back and allow it to bleed.

Moriones festival, near in my place there is a street where in the youth will have a play. where in one of them will play the role of jesus, maria, joseph and other are the hebrew who chase jesus.
the play is all about how jesus died.


whether you are, Christian, Buddhist, hindu or dont believe in god at all. its always good to respect other people for what they believe as u want them to respect yours too.

well i gotta go to bed now. comments are allowed!
