Where Is The Cheap NFA Rice?
The “Bolanteros” of Kalibo must not insist on using Toting Reyes Street, by the side of the Kalibo Public Market. They must not use it for their own economic advantage. The roads, including Toting Reyes Street, are constructed to be used as passage ways for vehicles and pedestrians. “Bolanteros” must remember that market is a place where the people meet to sell goods and or to buy goods and therefore, there are designated places where the people may visit either to sell or purchase goods.
Allowing Toting Reyes Street to be used as market place will deprive both the vehicles and pedestrians for whom Toting Reyes was constructed. There are places where people may visit either to sell or purchase goods. Mayor Rebaldo is just implementing the law and must not waiver in its implementation. He needs all support on this matter.
Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo of Kalibo has found and designated a place for the “Bolanteros” to sell their goods in the vicinity of Oyo Torong Street. “Bolanteros” claim of poor sales there and so they insist to return to Toting Reyes St. If their sales are adversely affected in that new location, they need to promote that new location so that buyers will go to them to buy their needs. They must learn to make adjustment.
They may advertise their new location, offer the most reasonable prices to customers, put up location signs or provide direction how to visit their new location and reach them.
Once people are convinced “Bolantero” goods are of good quality and of highly competitive prices, people will develop the habit of visiting the new market site regularly to buy goods for their daily needs.
To go on strike on the part of the vendors because “Bolanteros” are not allowed to use Toting Reyes Street where to display and sell their goods is a clear and simple transgression of the laws, a great defiance of lawful orders and the deprivation of the rights of the majority of the people.
Should the vendors go on strike that means forfeiture of their function to supply goods to the people at a mutually agreed price. In case vendors go on strike, buyers may visit either the Numancia Public Market in Numancia or the Banga Public Market in Banga. Vendors there will be happy to serve the buyers from Kalibo. Should the Kalibo vendors go on strike, they will be the losers. Vendors have no masters to strike against. Can they strike against their client? Clients are golden ducks that lay golden eggs. “Clients are always right.” There are several markets near Kalibo where customers may visit and buy their needs.

I went around and inside the Kalibo Public Market in search for NFA rice but I did not see any rice retailer selling NFA rice. I was in the Kalibo Public Market on Wednesday, August 31 between 9:30 – 10:00 in the morning. What I saw were “NFA Authorized Retailer” signs. Where is the NFA “cheap priced rice and enough supply?”

In Aklan, it is noted that there is a marked increases of prices not only of prime commodities like oil but also cases of suicide, swindling and criminalities. Cases of shooting, stabbing and raping are on the rise. Two spouses made a “Tennessee Waltz”. A husband visited his wife in a rented room apartment in Kalibo. He requested a police to accompany him. And voila! His wife is confirmed to be living with a paramour in that boarding house. The house owner accused the jealous husband of “trespassing”.
Until today, nothing is heard about them. Hope they returned to their rightful bosom. /MPmailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
