Soon at your favorite theater a blockbuster clash featuring ’super giant patupats’ versus ‘kamachile queen’ down by the stinky river side’ How can she win with bilasang tilapia and borotot torotot offered by CRaul & Co.?

Bangus and bokayo win hands down! She can take that to the bank. Geez have you heard? Facing a looming rice shortage, instead of coming with a brilliant solution, leader of the pack appears ready to form a rice patrol? Imagine, while these closet hangers enjoy sinking their teeth on prime ribs and roast beef, Filipinos are told to eat kamote?

Filipinos, through their favorite turo turo and carinderias will be limited to couple spoon full of rice or face the wrath of the rice patrol. This is rich coming from a throng of supposedly well educated bunch. I guess soon the packaged noodles they promoted last time will also be cut to few strands.

My dear countrymen, pray you will continue to be patient while you are bled dry. Happy Easter.
