The sad bit is that I volunteered to write said piece. Already have an idea of how to rip his stupidity apart in an intelligent manner, but I had to read his article to do that. My head hurted after the first five minutes.

The idiot failed to cite accurately how our halting of rice imports has anything to do with population in the Philippines. If anything, the most recent report from the World Hunger Index states that incidences of starvation in RP are still above tolerable levels...
