A wealthy capitol and heartless leader. A country divided into many island, dialect and belief. Most of the island is poorly manage. Island resources is abuse and exploited by the elite. Due to corruption and dynasty way of electing leader. Most of the people is poor. Only few elite family enjoy life. Every 6 years, they held a contest. To choose and elect new leader for the country. Every 3 years, they held a contest. To choose and elect new leader in each island. In winning the contest. You can buy or cheat to win. Contestant can use money, intimidation, threat or killing to win. The population is always living in fear of crime and anarchy. Hardship in life is the daily norms. Due to most of the wealth is owned by the leader and elite family. The country is now experiencing climate change called " El Niño ". No rain for many month. The population, mostly farmers have no water to use in the farmland to produce foods. No water, no foods. The plea of the population is ignore by the capitol and island leader. The population decided to gather and protest for several days in a place called "kidapawan". Demanding help from the capitol and island leader. Despite the available "calamity fund" for disposal to the population. Capitol and island leader do not want to share the calamity fund. They want to keep it themselve. To be use for funding in the upcoming contest. They responded with firing bullet to disperse the protesting population. The capitol and island leader is mocking farmers. Despite the plea for rice to feed the hunger. But they got "firing bullet" that result to death. They arrested and detained some farmers in jail. Who joined the protest. They now demanded for bail money for them to get out of jail. The farmers have no money to buy food. Also, no bail money to get out of jail. The capitol is mocking farmers by branding them as rebel. The hunger games is now unfolding in the country. More people is getting hungrier and angrier by the days. The capitol leader is heartless. Stand-up and defeat the heartless leader. Choose the next leader with compassion to the population. Be awake and be aware. For a better country. (An allegory of farmer's plight in the country) Posted on Dupay Seeds fb page 04/10/2016
