Greater Manilans need all-out earthquake drills GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc (The Philippine Star) | Updated October 25, 2013 - 12:00am philstar/opinion/2013/10/25/1249193/greater-manilans-need-all-out-earthquake-drills An SOS from reader Larry Yolu of Tayug, Pangasinan: “We are now in the middle of the harvest and selling our palay to private traders, mostly dummies of big capitalists. They have cornered the buying, at the measly prices of P12 and P13.50 a kilo, wet and dry. From a recent interview of the National Food Authority spokesman and as posted in the NFA website, the agency’s buying price is P17.75 a kilo. Yet there are no NFA buying stations, to which we small farmers in eastern Pangasinan can sell our palay.Luging-lugi po kami (We are selling at big loss). Kindly bring this to the attention of the proper authorities. I’ve been trying to click open the Dept. of Agriculture website to file this complaint, to no avail. No one can log into it.”
