Imagine this, Filipinos eat rice three times a day. Yup, that’s how much rice is a staple in our diet. And take note, it is usually fried rice in the morning. Well, some regions it is just plain rice. But for Tagalogs, we love our fried rice in the morning. It’s usually that the night before, we cook rice with extra servings to fry the next day. Incidentally, fried rice is called sinangag.
One current issue today is the probability of having rice shortage. Now this would really send commodity brokers negotiating for the importation of rice. Believe it or not, while the Philippines has probably trained the best rice breeders from different countries, we still import rice. Ironic isn’t it? It’s not so much as access to the right varieties, investments in rice production but also political will. But then that’s another story.
