in the midst of the food crisis

a genuine agrarian reform program is key to industrialization. that is my cherished conviction. taiwan did it. south korea did it, too, at the point of park chung hee's guns. and so i asked a patient of mine, a finance expert and former government official if we can still do it. he answers, "that would be an inefficient route."
true to his technocratic form, he was thinking industrialized agriculture. he further adds, "and we need to control population."
by this time, i regret asking the question.
these are photos i took some 20 years ago. my friends went to lucban last saturday to take photos of the rice harvest quite aptly with the ongoing rice crisis. i look forward to seeing those photos and see how much has changed.
