Most of the Haiti people today turned into eating mud cake. They first strain the mud to remove stones in it, put some mixture of vegetables and then they let it dry under the sun. Though this mud cake is rich in calcium, eating it in regular basis is not good for their health, said the health specialists. Today, this is the food being eaten by these poorest people in the hemisphere.

Even before, Haiti is already poor and it is getting poorer and poorer. Though the United Nation extended help for this country, it is not yet enough to sustain the continuously growing population.

The economic downfall of the United States has affected many countries and Haiti is one of the most affected one. The increased price on energy (coal products) has lead most if not all of the products being sold in Haiti to increase prices too.

Father Fernando Suarez, a Chemical Engineering graduate has turned into a healing priest. He become famous especially for the sick people. Wherever he goes to conduct mass healing most if not all the people who he came to put over his hand was miraculously healed.

Recently, Fr. Suarez was aired again on tv news because of controversial issue. He is selling CDs and other things that have been blessed. According to the news, this things can heighten the faith of the believers and are also able to heal some of the sickness. The proceeds of this, will go to the development of a huge statue of St. Mary. in Batangas.

Farmers are claiming that this parcel of land should have been their own long time ago because they were already tilling the land for a couple of years or decades if I’m not mistaken. Allegedly, the farmer awake one morning and discovered that the land is not their own property, but owned by one of the biggest corporations in the Philippines - San Miguel Corporation.

Farmers at this moment are currently marching to Manila from their respective farms to shout to Malacañang and to invoke their rights to the land. Because of this dispute, DAR comes to the rescue. DAR will regulate this issue for sure. For the time being, let’s just sit, relax and watch the news about it.

DAR - Department of Agrarian Reform. It is a branch of the government who focuses on the arable lands (eg. farm) and the people who are living and getting their source of living from that land. DAR regulates all issues regarding lands. From the acronym itself, Department of Agrarian REFORM. This government agency had been long time reforming this farm lands into something else different from agrarian. Just like what had happened in the Lingayen Golf Course. Hundred of hectares of arable land had been REFORMED into recreation (golf course) for those who can afford only.

San Miguel Corporation - is one of the pride corporations of the Philippines. This corporation continue to progress. Their products are well patronized by Filipinos and even outside the Philippines. The rate of demands continue to incline, thus, an expansion is needed. If you notice the strategy of this corporation, they produce their own raw materials to make up a good output product.

They let the farmers plant mais or maize. They will buy this golden grain and milled and treated to their machineries to produce a quality foods to be fed to their piggery farm. Afterwards, the swine will then be processed to their plants to become food not only for the farmers, but to the whole Filipinjo people who have the capacity to afford the price of processed meat products. Isn’t it a nice company? Yes, it is. A very profitable company.

This farm land is just another way for them to increase a sale. Hopefully, these farmers to be displaced (I hope not) will be given priorities as their beneficiaries.
