Duterte orders probe of missing seized rice
By: Christine O. Avendaño, Julie Alipala - @inquirerdotnet
“Visibly upset” about the missing 23,015 sacks of rice smuggled from Malaysia that
the government had earlier seized, President Duterte ordered “an immediate and
thorough” investigation of the incident in Zamboanga City.“The President was really
angry because how do you lose 23,000 sacks?” presidential spokesperson Harry
Roque said on Thursday at a news briefing. Roque said Duterte instructed the National
Food Authority (NFA) officer in charge and Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña to
“immediately place on preventive suspension to individuals who may be part of the
scheme.” He said Lapeña told him his office had administratively relieved Zamboanga
district collector Lyceo Martinez and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) police district
commander, Filomeno Salazar. The BOC chief also said he had sent a team of
investigators to Zamboanga to look into the incident, according to Roque. A crackdown
on the smuggling of rice from Malaysia, coupled with the depletion of the rice reserve
of the NFA, precipitated a severe rice shortage in Zamboanga City and Tawi-Tawi
province. The severe shortage sent prices of commercial rice soaring to P70 a
kilogram in Zamboanga City and P80 a kilo in Tawi-Tawi, prompting their respective
local governments to declare a state of calamity. Malacañang has acknowledged that
the high rice prices pulled down the approval and trust ratings of President Duterte
last month. Roque said the relief of Martinez and Salazar was “for the purpose of
ensuring they cannot tamper with evidence and they cannot influence the
investigation.” But he said authorities recovered 16,000 sacks of rice on on Oct. 1. The
rice was found over the weekend in the Basulta Traders Corp. warehouse and two
other warehouses.

Sound devices are literary elements used in prose and poetry to create musical
effects. These devices make texts vibrant, motive and pleasing to the reader. This
facilitates understanding the text at a deeper level (literarydevices.net). Below are the
commonly used sound devices and their examples.
1. Assonance – repetition of vowels sounds in words. Example: That man had a
cap.
2. Onomatopoeia - word that sounds like what it describes. Example: From here I
heard the mooo of the cow.
3. Alliteration – use of the same beginning consonant in a line. Example: Freda’s
favourite is french fries.

He and stone are the two unlike things being compared in the
sentence. These two are similar because he and stone show the
characteristics of being hard.
• Metaphor – a comparison between two unlike things. That two things are
identical in comparison rather than just similar. (literarydevices.net)

student’s skill of retelling the events of a story in the order in which they occurred.
The structure of a short story follows a pattern: Beginning - characters and

conflict is solved. In sequencing events, signal words like first, next, then, finally
are used to facilitate the flow of events in a story.

marvelous Underground River. Boracay beach is well known for its white sand and great view.
Basilan is also quite known for its stunning landscapes and amazing beaches. Bohol is famous

It’s been years since countries surrounding the West Philippine Sea or otherwise known

Pacific Ocean having 3,500,000 square kilometers from Karimata Straits to Taiwan
(en.wikipedia.org).
Found in this sea are 11 billion barrels of untapped oil and 190 trillion cubic feet of
natural gas. No wonder, many sovereign countries surrounding the West Philippine Sea want
to claim their rights and ownership towards the sea and islands most especially China. The
Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague issued its ruling claim (www.cfr.org) in favored
of the Philippines in July 2016 However, China never wavered upon the decision of the court;
instead, they strengthened their forces in guarding both island and sea leaving the Philippines
powerless even though they are favoured by the court.
The disputed sea is located in: China’s south, Vietnam’s east, Philippines’ west, Malay
Peninsula’s east and Sumatra up to the Straight of Singapore in the Western, North of the
Bangka Belitung Islands and Borneo (en.wikipedia.org). So instead of creating chaos and
dispute why not open and share it around the countries surrounding the said territory.

Corona Virus 19 also known as Covid – 19 is an infectious disease caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome. It doesn’t only affect our country but also globally. It affects
different people in different ways and transmitted when virus spread primarily through droplets
of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. In our
country we already have more than 30 thousand cases and more than nine million globally.
This pandemic affects not only the health but also the economic aspects. Since the
government issued lockdown, majority of the citizens are jobless because almost
establishments, factories, malls, and other businesses are temporarily closed. And because
of this, the government is the one responsible for feeding each household making the
economic state of the government drop off.
Socially, Covid-19 strengthens the camaraderie and unity of the public. Despite the
threat to our health, some individuals initiate and extend their helping hands to the one in need,
lifting them up and giving them hope to be resilient. Also, other countries are extending their
hands to help the other countries that are in great dilemma caused by the pandemic.
In terms of moral aspects, Covid-19 manages to bring different sides and shaken the
beliefs of the individuals. The action of the authority upsets the public. Protest and rants are
everywhere. Curses and blames are being thrown at the government. Several personnel are
blinded by the truth and end up being eaten by their anger. There are people who also take
the disease for granted; they are using the said virus for their personal gain and interest. On
the other side, there were many personalities that give sunshine to others. Their stand and
belief are strengthened, their principle on life are braced by the experiences, the pain, the loss
and the will for survival.

Semi-colon ( ; ) tells the reader to pause between two independent phrases or
sentences that are closely related in meaning.
Example: Sofia was pleased; she knew her parents would attend the
ceremony.
Colon ( : ) tells the reader that the words before the colon will introduce the words that
follow.
Example: He tackled three subjects today: English, Filipino, and Math.
Dashes ( - ) and ( — ) tells the reader that he or she must pause, then read emphasis
into the following words.
Examples: Iligan - Bukidnon Road
The subject is obvious — YOU!
Hyphen ( - ) tells the reader that the two words with the hyphen between them should
be read as though they were one, or to indicate a word break at the end of a line.
Examples: back-to-back, well-mannered, mother-in-law
