00:00 The government is preparing up to P15,000 in aid to retailers.

00:05 Now, many are fighting over the price ceiling of rice,

00:08 how to choose the beneficiaries and when to distribute the target.

00:13 Let's find out with the witness of Macky Pulido.

00:15 Some sold their losses, some just closed their business.

00:22 We don't earn here. We will lose if we continue to do this.

00:24 But of course, they fulfilled their promise. We need to follow them.

00:28 But the sentiment of many rice retailers is one.

00:32 The market is in a mess when the P41 price ceiling is followed by the regular milled

00:37 and P45 price ceiling for well-milled rice.

00:41 We don't earn here. We will lose if we continue to do this.

00:44 The P41 regular milled is yellow or broken.

00:48 Some are still buying it.

00:51 Some retailers are also following the price ceiling because they bought cheap rice from the supplier.

00:56 But they are selling only 5 kilos per family so that more people can buy.

01:01 Some retailers are asking for the stock of their expensive rice to be sold first before the price ceiling is fulfilled.

01:08 The punishment for those who violate the price ceiling is not just a fine but a prison.

01:13 The most severe punishment is economic sabotage, which is non-bailable.

01:16 Profiteering and other crimes that are against commercial interests of the people.

01:25 The government's answer to the retailers is to give up to P15,000 to the 5.5 billion pesos

01:33 sustainable livelihood program of DSWD.

01:36 The program is aimed at beneficiaries, DTI and Department of Agriculture,

01:40 who will consult with the retailer associations to find small retailers.

01:45 The DSWD is waiting for the list from the respective governments.

01:49 They will also make parameters if P15,000 is the same or depends on what you bought.

01:56 According to our guidelines, it should be brought to the retailer, not the association.

02:00 The target of DSWD is to distribute the rice next week.

02:03 DTI should investigate it thoroughly. That's why they are making a mechanism that has proof of purchase.

02:09 We are talking about a short period.

02:11 The goal of this is to get rid of their expensive inventory.

02:18 That's what we will answer the damage to them.

02:22 Under the EO39, the reason for the price of rice to rise is seen.

02:27 Aside from the uncontrollable events in other countries,

02:30 the manipulation of the price of rice by the "nang-ho-hoard" traders is the reason.

02:34 The cartel is now in chaos when there was no incident.

02:37 Some of the warehouses in Bulacan were raided as part of the campaign against smuggling.

02:42 They were given time to prove that they are not guilty.

02:46 But if the illegal import of rice can be proven, it can be auctioned or donated to the government.

02:52 The price will be lowered.

02:56 For now, the price ceiling will remain until President Bompong Marcos leaves.

03:01 Some farmers are already affected.

03:03 The Federation of Free Farmers cooperatives is also affected because the farm gate price has already fallen

03:07 following the implementation of the price ceiling.

03:10 The fault of the hoarders and price manipulators is that the farmer will be the one to pay the problem in the form of low rice prices.

03:21 We at the DA are strengthening our credit facilities in ACPC.

03:27 We have credit programs for farmers.

03:33 We have a rice program that supports the harvesters, equipment and post-harvest processing.

03:41 If we see that there is a change or the price has stabilized due to the appropriate price,

03:48 the Department of Agriculture and DTI can recommend lifting this EO.

03:56 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, your witness.
