An intriguing op-ed appeared in Sun Star, Davao edition, a few days back. Took me all this while to blog about it because I tried looking for the said item in their website (no luck) and that I was threatened with death by application of pain inducing paraphernalia by an old enemy: Procrastination.
The op-ed posed an intriguing question: Is there really a rice shortage in the Philippines?
Or is it a fabricated shortage to distract the media and the public from the ZTE imbroglio?
Or is it merely a deux-ex-machina? A minor crisis (just difficulties in supplies really) that is fanned out of proportion for reasons that mere mortals (and even more mere bloggers) are not supposed to speculate upon.
Ah... yes the Joys of Paranoia.
