Food support: a good move of Phil. government

Rice is the staple food here in the Philippines. In view of the present economic crises the world has been expriencing, I am glad with the government's strategy to keep the rice commodity at a lower price of 25 pesos per kilo, which is distributed, nation-wide, by the Philippine National Food Authority (NFA). With this price of rice, poor people could already buy food with their meager income. Without this effort of the government these times could be a real nightmare for the poor, as the prices of commercial rice ranges from 30 to more than 50 pesos already. To this, I want to say, Thank you so much President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
