very cool. It's amazing that rice is as cheap as it is. It looks so labor intensive for such a small amount.

True. It's the food staple here. I want to say that most of the rice costs about P25 a kilo. Cheap.

All the rice that one sees out in the provinces are for internal consumption. That's one effing lot of rice I can tell you.

During harvest, it's the focus of everyone ( that needs the rice to survive which is a high portion of the population ).
