Govt response to millions of Filipinos going
hungry is arrest opposition leader: Pangilinan

Over 100 million Filipinos eat rice daily. Some 25 million Filipinos live in poverty line levels today. Close to 70 percent of their meager income goes to food expenses and the bulk of that is spent on rice.

When rice prices go up unabated, it means 25 million Filipinos will either have one less meal a day or no meal at all. Millions are going hungry today because of the corruption and incompetence of this administration and its failure to ensure a stable and steady supply of rice in the market.

The Administration's response in the middle of the rice crisis? Arrest a vocal leader of opposition.
