Communist rebels are likely to capitalize on the rice crisis to regain grounds in Bohol, but government soldiers are ready against enemy recovery, warned an army official.

Capt. Michael Colanta, commanding officer of the 4th Army Special Forces Company, said they got reports of red fighters now going "highly-mobile" in mass recruitment while people start to ache over uncontrolled rise in the prices of the staple food.

He hinted of the possible use by the New People's Army (NPA) of the food problem to get back people's support during his brief Bohol peace and order situation report to a gathering of town and barangay officials.

National Food Authority (NFA) - Bohol Manager Nestor Rey Alcoseba assured, meanwhile, that time cannot come when poor Boholanos line up in panic because NFA is losing its last stock of cheap government rice.          

People may sweat out waiting in a long queue but simply because they know - and are sure - that more NFA rice are coming, the food official said.

Government troopers are now countering the reported rebel recruitment works by holding barangay security system (BSS) seminars in different towns, specifically in interior Bohol, since last month.

Mike during last weeks SP meeting the NFC was at the session under the guest ship of Vice Mayor Antonio Veloso.
The NFC said that the ships supplies to cebu and here are running smoothley.
So far as to this post there are no signs of NPA wanting to take over the rice sittuation.

Here in Bohol per day we consume over 7.300 plus bags per day of rice, occurding to the national food commission here in Bohol.
Bohol is not having a shortage. thats the latest according to they're reports.

What is making it expensive is the gas per barrel is already over 120 dollars.

Some ports where the rice is normally being brought too the rice that is bad rice is being resacked and sold as a first class rice.

Once you but it at first class price and cook it it is daot rather fast according to  Hon. SP member DanDan Bantugan.
He bought the rice and thought it was good because of the sack it had been put in.
