Opposition gov sees diversion in crisis

KORONADAL CITY -- Opposition Gov. Daisy Avance-Fuentes said the rice crisis could be part of a government ploy to divert the people’s attention from the controversial ZTE broadband deal.

“Isn’t it very unusual because we in government usually keep problems like this under wraps?” said Avance-Fuentes.

“Why is the crisis being announced, it’s the reason for panic and price increases. If this was a scenario or a plot, the planners are very good. If not, the President is very lucky.”

She said people are now talking about the rice crisis instead of the ZTE scandal. Aquiles Zonio, Inquirer Mindanao

What can you say about this? Magaling ang spin doctors ng Malacañang diba? They knew bombing another mall would only backfire so they instead created a non-existent crisis. From what i know good yung supply ng bigas up to June 2008 bakit all of a sudden pati NFA rice nauubos na?
