Can someone explain the process of how they make rice in the DR? Why the plastic bag? What kind of rice is most popular there, medium or long grain?

From what i have witnessed- rice in pot with sufficient water, let cook on medium heat until you smell burnt crusted rice. They really love that burnt crusted rice, and of course you need acid to clean the pot afterwards. lol

I've never seen a bag used, it must be a regional thing. Con-con, if my wife does it, it very light brown and the pan is easy to clean. If my mother in law does it, the pan requires soaking and scraping.
Most old timer Dominicans don't have lids that fit anymore, so they use plastic bags to make sure that the lid fits tightly. It is not necessary if you have a proper lid that actually fits the pot.

It would be interesting to know where does the word "concon" (the rice at the bottom of the pot) come from. In Puerto Rico I believe they call it "raspao", which actually makes sense -from a linguistic stand point- because you have to "raspar" it to get out of the pot, but "concon" makes no sense in Spanish. Any idea?
