Beware of fake rice

Joke bounces. After seeing videos of people rolling up fake rice into balls and bouncing them around, one trisikad driver who often plays in the basketball league tournaments of his barangay, joked that eating the rice might give more bounce to his step.

"Amaw, ang imo rang tubol mao'y mo-untol," one of his friends said.

Health authorities have repeatedly warned the public against consuming rice they think is fake.
