Most of the rice fields around Zamboanguita have been harvested and some have already been replanted or prepared for this.

This also means that the rice mills and maize mills in the community are very busy for milling. We arrived early one morning to watch and film the hustle and bustle.

We arrived too early. The machines were not yet in operation. There was still silence. Some customers were already sitting on the benches waiting. The miller was already there too, but the cashier and a few other employees were still missing.

So the chickens still had time to pick a few grains here and there.

When the machines were up and running, more customers arrived with sacks on motorcycles or trucks and then they unloaded, weighed and milled for all they were worth.
