Tapuy, a disaster waiting to happen?

Mr. Sosimo Pablico:For the lives of us at the Forum, you did not explain if PhilRice is a private enterprise or a government agency. Because, if it is a government agency you got a lot of explaining to do. How in the world such an entity can indulge in the manufacture of liquor? Well, that's all for now.
To tell the truth, you are 41 years too late in the exposure of Tapuy. I had a taste of this concoction in Tadiang, Benguet during a "Kamiao" in 1965. The way the folks processed this, is thru fermentation but of the low alcohol content they added shredded tobacco leaves to have a kick which really a bucking horse in a glass. The enormity of its hangover is beyond belief. Three days off your rocker.
What really caught my eyes again are the words METHANOL and STAPHYLOCCUS AUREUS. Methanol…a light pungent volatile flammable poisonous liquid alcohol; used as antifreeze, solvent, or denaturant for ethyl alcohol. In plain words wood alcohol. Staphyloccus aureus… a bacterium that causes furunculosis (characterized by the presence of boils), pyaemia (development of abscesses in the organs), osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone and bone marrow) and food poisoning.
Your equivocal emphasis this liquid Tapuy does not have these poisonous derivatives is extremely questionable. Why the keen interest in telling people the purity of Tapuy sans the danger of the implications? Is it a disaster waiting to happen, Senor Pablico?
