Residents of Barangay Poblacion, Baliuag Bulacan raised the eyebrows of the netizens after they returned the rice distributed for them because of being poor-quality.
In a video posted by netizen Marikit Alvaran, it showed the residents putting the packs of rice inside a sack while mocking its quality.
One resident even called the rice fit for dogs only.
“Hindi ako kumakain niyan,” the first woman said.
“Ayan, para sa aso,” the second lady remarked.
Netizens couldn’t hide their anger over the residents who returned the rice.
“Kayo na biniyayaan, kakapal pa ng mukha ibalik. Hoy! Hindi lang kayo ang nangangailangan ng makakain araw-araw! Ibigay yan sa mga taong mas nangangailangan! Ke aarte! Tapos pag wala na makain, sa gobyerno aasa! Titigas ng mukha! Akala niyo naman sa mansion kayo nakatira. Pwe! Grasya tinatanggihan!” netizen Jance Teodoro said.
“Hay grabe gusto nyo palitan? Sana magpasalamat pa kayo. Maliit man yan or malaki. Maraming tao ang mas nangangailangan pero di bibigyan ng tulong,” netizen Clea Spedding commented.
While some social media users said that the rice may be really inedible because of its poor-quality, several supporters of the Captain of Barangay Poblacion Christopher Alvaran cooked it to show that it’s a fine grain.
Alvaran also posted a message addressed to the critics of the Barangay Captain of Poblacion.
“Si Kap na isang kilo eyebag masigurado lang na lahat kakain. Yung mga frontliners na naghakot,nagrepack,nagpamigay. Yung mga tanod na puyat kakabantay para masigurong walang magkakasakit. At yung mga TAXPAYERS na nag ambag ambag para sa kapwa Pilipino. Mahiya kayo!!! Si Mayor Ferdie may pamanok pa and pa almushare araw-araw. Kayo? Hihilahilata tapos pag bigayan,pag di pasok sa standards nyong akala nyo anak kayo ni Belo kung makapag inarte. Aba matindi!” she said.
As of writing the video already reached 13,000 shares on social media.
