Rice is the basic food for most of us Filipinos. Fortunately, in the place where we are living, rice fields are everywhere. From what I learned, 3 times in a single year they plant rice. Started in the month of January and ended in the month of November where it’s the last season for harvesting rice.
Now, this month, the planting has already begun. Although, not all rice field owners are doing the same because there are things that need to be considered. Money, seeds and fertilizers; Without these 3, you can’t be so sure that the rice crops will grow abundantly. Rice can not be handled with just one person alone. Of course, you need money to pay people to work for you. From plowing of fields, planting, cleaning, harvesting and many more.
From the image above, you can see a man who was gathering seedlings. He removed it and then tied it together with a couple of seedlings.
Now, this is the whole reason why I took pictures from the first place. I love seeing these people planting rice from afar. With the help of the zoom lens which can reach a farther view. I can focus on the activities of these people.
I took some since I’d love to capture every expression and action when they were planting and resting. They were human, obviously, no matter how fast they were planting because they were experts at this job. They would still take a pause from planting to have a rest while standing.
It’s a tiring job, even I could tell without experiencing it even once. Well, seeing them planting seemed aching at the back. There was this sun too, when it’s too high, it would be hot for sure just like this time. Even so, there’s no easy and simple job, so we should still be thankful and grateful for it.
