So the indigent Filipinos are seeking for substitute for rice. And DA (Department of Agriculture) found out that only wheat and corn are produced in comparable quantity. They also found out that the health benefits that an individual can gain in rice are also present in white corn, it is as if the equivalent and most perfect substitute to rice; it is also cheaper and more affordable than rice. But as we heard from news many plants and farm are destroy and affected with the natural calamities. Many crops become useless because of typhoons and floods. Thus, this may also result to a decrease in production of corn. This study is selected to verify if the natural calamities can affect the production of white con in the entire Philippines.
