Almost all commodities nowadays have been rising in the market. Lately, it has been an issue of the day about the fast rising of prices of rice per kilo  which is a result of low supply. This scenario is a result of less supply of rice from foreign countries like Vietnam and China, which are the primary importer of rice in the Philippines.  Aside from that, most ricefields before has been converted to a banana plantation because growers can gain much more than that of planting rice.

As a result, the rice cereal are no longer enough to supply the needs of Filipinos everyday. However, I believe that despite of all these odds, Filipinos can still survive by way of being industrious and thrifty at all times. We need to tighten our belt in spending our income for those important needs only. Extravagance should be avoided, so to fight increasing prices of basic commodities. If in case, we have a parcel of land even if it is of little area, we should utilized it into farming crops and vegetables, so not to purchase  anymore in the market. Government and its people should work hand in hand in order to maintain a decent living even if like a vessel, the nation is navigating in a rough water.
