There’s an interesting book which you, my friends, should read in the weekend. It’s George Soros’ book entitled, ” The New Paradigm of Financial Markets”. It’s available on line, about 24 dollars for e-books. Soros explained why we are now facing the worst financial crisis of the century and how we will be able to avoid the effects of this.

I commend Gloria for her “tutok” policy in the Customs bureau. However, more than just a propaganda ploy, Gloria should immediately fire Morales. This will make us happier. It was obvious during the press con that there were violations of the Customs and Tariff Code made by his men. He should be fired immediately.

People should really go out in the streets now due to this food crisis. As for rice, there’s an apparent attempt to really jack up the price of this cereal to an average of 25 pesos. Government propagandists are trying to justify this by further releasing statements about the crisis. I think this is the height of government apathy on the plight of the poor because they should not allow rice to break the 20 pesos per kilo barrier because as they said, the main issue is not stocks but price. If it’s price, they should at least shoulder the burden of the price difference for the meantime because people nowadays lack the capacity to buy food.

Gloria should not be held hostage by these giant rice traders. By the way, 3 big-time traders were allegedly arrested in Isabela. GMA should parade them before the media. That would make my day.
