                    [Summary] => That rice you’re eating these holidays sure is delicious. Long-grained and white, it goes well with pricey ham or lowly tuyo. Very cheap, too. But chances are that, while you’re enjoying good rice, hundreds of thousands of farmers could be going hungry while the government is being cheated. This, because, as National Food Authority administrator Anthony Abad admits, "the market has been flooded of late with smuggled rice."


Now why would anybody want to smuggle rice when farmers have had a bumper harvest this year? For easy yet dirty profit, of course.
