Confirming
of Rice Hoarding
Rice
Hoarding was the said reason of Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary
Proceso Alcala this Wednesday, September 4, 2013 after inspecting the storeroom
of rice dealers for increasing the price of rice in Mercado.
He
also said that rice traders were juts manipulating the supply of rice to give
reasons just to have rice price adjustment. “There are parties that have been
manipulating rice supplier. We believe some people have large inventories and
they are creating opportunities for the price to go up,” Alcala said.
The
DA already deployed an inspector in some areas to observe the inventories of
commercial rice dealers.

The Dream of a Scholar
“People have
dreams, if they don’t, perhaps they don’t get sleep.” –Marie Alyssa
Dincol
She has a dream like
everyone does. A dream of a 17-year old young lady who lives in Bulacan is to
see her successful future. But how she can fulfil her dreams if she can’t
afford to pay tuition fees for her college? Yes, her family has financial
problem but she is willing to do everything just for her dream. A dream that
can change her life. Until such time, she found out that she can continue her
studies without any tuition fees to pay.
Why am I telling you
this? It’s because she is a scholar to her home of knowledge and wisdom. She became
a scholar not because a scholar requires an academically intelligence as high
as what the nearer genius have but because of her effort, courage,
determination and willingness to do so that she can make it until the end of
her journey.
And now that she is
already part of scholar students, she has no time for hanging out with friends,
no weekends to rest, always late to go to bed or sometimes no more sleep. Eating
voraciously that seems like there’s no tomorrow. And most of the time, thanking
God for all the things that she have. Sounds like boring for others isn’t it? But
not for her because that’s what makes her to be a scholar. She is doing this
because she wants to have a future, a future that will bring her to success. That’s
how she thinks.
Thinking if who is
she, aren’t you? The young lady in the story is the one who composed the quote before
the story began. That is how I dream, a dream to see my future.
