Yes, he is guilty of abduction, of having explosives and firearms during an election season when firearms are banned. But he did what no New People’s Army cadre or revolutionary did — he brought the plight of our poor not just to the attention of our leaders but to the whole world.

[Summary] => The single meal that the poorest Filipino eats at noon is called altanghap – short for almusal, tanghalian and hapunan. This, if he can scrounge for one. It is usually boiled saba (green bananas) dipped in salted fish sauce, or rice with grated coconut meat, with sugar if he can afford it.

Reyes was "caught" by President Macapagal-Arroyo plotting a military coup against her government, and therefore was told to quit or be "fired". We’re a great country for conspiracy theories.

If you ask me, if ever a plot was being hatched in the armed forces it was more likely to have been hatched against Reyes – so let’s leave that harebrained theory alone.

Because of wrong policies, costly subsidies and weak governance, experts warn that the country’s chronically ill agriculture sector, particularly rice, would be ripe for a collapse if the government does not bite the bullet and implement reforms that are necessary, even if unpopular.
