Hi Anonymous,
Thanks. Maybe we should call Gloria a “chook”. She is actually there now in the land down under for the APEC meeting.

Hi Kayni,
Hehe, it’s Kankanaey. Basically the food you throw to free-range chicken Thanks.

Hi Anonymous,
I’m sure she will also give it to the chickens hehe. What are “chooks”? Thanks.

Hi Arcibald,
Oo ginagawang sacrificial lambs talaga ang mga tao. There’s big trouble now brewing in Kasibu, Nueva Vizcaya because of the government’s emphasis on attracting investors even it peoples lives will be disrupted. Thanks.

Hi Anonymous,
I’m not sure if the government has its own data but, if I’m not mistaken, this anti-hunger program may be a knee-jerk reaction to a survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations. Thanks.

who did this survey or was it based on a statistics? Baka taga-central office nanggaling. Baka they just look at their clothes and generalize that they are starving, because we cordillerans (generally?) don’t care much on how we look. uray naka-sinelas kano ket maysa nga kaban nga bagas ti gatangen na. awan kanya tayo ti agbolod ti bado para piyasta

it’s a really big irony that it is mostly the farming regions of our country – which provide the food – who always end up hungry. it just shows that there is something wrong in the way developmental priorities are done, government money is spent, etc.

and the people always end up being sacrificed by the government for its own ends supporting foreign investors.

ah my mind’s jumbled up na. hehehe i don’t know what i’m saying anymore…
