On eating kamote instead of rice

Our country being so pervasive in form but drearily short when it comes to substance, Filipinos must take time and listen to what a kamote is telling those perorating on it’s filling powers and increasing popularity.
If a past U.S. president was able to purloin the thunder out of every American giving them hope with a promise there will be chicken in every ports, you Madam President, should have been more innovative in inspiring your countrymen to partake of this great stuff.
Tell them kamote is not just for desert anymore or just another ingredient in halo-halo. Tell them from now, it will no longer just be in ‘garapons’ but served in fine laced china.
Madam President, telling Filipinos they must eat kamote because there is less rice isn’t a PhD thing in you. This sounded like from my Grandma not from an economist.
Let this kamote give you an uplift; “Planting Kamote is always fun, but eating it more is Gloria’s plan!’
