OF THE WEEK

In the Heart of Barlig
An old farmer in
Kadaklan village, in the heart of Barlig, Mountain Province (about 13
hours ride north of Manila) arranges his rice harvest. He is preparing for
the next planting season. The seeds he plants on his payao (rice
paddy) are of the native highland variety, which is used less and less
these days as government increasingly promotes high-yielding and
genetically-modified varieties developed by agri-business multinationals,
with not a little help from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).
The man is one of those farmers who still value the old reliable
varieties.
