“The Aquino regime has instead chosen to continue to carry out massive rice importation in order to pocket scandalous amounts of kickbacks,” said the CPP. It cited the contract signed by Agriculture Sec. Prospero Alcala with VINAFOOD II of Vietnam to supply the Philippines with 800,000 tons of rice from May to August this year.
"Mas pinili ng rehimeng Aquino na ipagpatuloy ang pag-aangkat ng bigas upang makapagbulsa ng iskandalosong halaga ng mga kikbak," anang PKP. Tinukoy nito ang kontratang nilagdaan ni Agriculture Sec. Prospero Alcala sa VINAFOOD II ng Vietnam para magsuplay sa Pilipinas ng 800,000 tonelada ng bigas mula Mayo hanggang Agosto ngayong taon.
