EN: will deal in rice; will sell rice
This is the future tense of a truly Filipino business venture. It's not just 'will sell,' it's specifically 'will sell rice.' It’s the dream of many OFWs to come home and open a 'bigasan' (rice store). It's a sign of stability, because in the Philippines, rice is life, and the one who sells it will always have customers.
ROOT MEANING: uncooked rice
A specific form of 'magbebenta' (will sell), focused on the commodity of rice. 'Magbibigas' is the future tense.
