This is the huge billboard at the main gate of the Philippine Rice Research Institute, in its bid to prevent rice postharvest loss from the farm on to consumers' dining table. Over 30% of rice harvest is lost from the time the crop is cut (reaping) until it reaches our plates.
This time, the Institute's focus of campaign is on the consumers' end, who may waste this staple food through careless washing of rice, under- or over-cooking, and even the deliberate rejection of excess food in the plate. Our practice of including our pet dogs in our rice budget is another issue worth-looking into.
Indeed, the rice we save today will feed us tomorrow.
Meanwhile, this morning during PhilRice flag-raising ceremony, this blogger was assigned by his host Division, the TMSD, to give the weekly Exhortation, where he gave a truly life-saving message - believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, particularly on how one will liberate himself from the bondage of sin. He particularly cited Romans 8:12, wherein man, because of his sinful nature, will never ever reach perfection no matter how he "beat himself up". That one should live under God's grace and not on laws.
Praise God, PhilRice people do not live by rice alone, but also on God's words. (JSF Blogs)
