Filipinos wearing rice sacks protest on a street in Manila, the Philippines, April 16, 2008. The protestors are calling for stronger measures from the National Food Authority to increase the proportion of home-produced rice in its food reserve while punishing the regraters. The Philippines, one of the world's major consumers and importers of rice, is caught in the middle of a worsening global rice supply shortage.
