00:08 As they say, rice is life.
00:11 Extra rice is life.
00:13 You're right.
00:14 So, good news, the price of rice in some markets in Metro Manila is cheaper.
00:19 And I heard that consumers can buy more rice.
00:25 We have live news from Mark Makalalad of Super Radio DZBB.
00:31 Mark?
00:32 Mark, we're slowly feeling the effects of the changing times.
00:37 The price of rice is falling because of more supply.
00:42 I heard that in Pasig Mega Market, they're selling rice for up to 300 pesos per sack.
00:49 And I heard that they're also lowering their price of up to 5 pesos per kilo.
00:54 Meanwhile, some sellers said that they have reduced the limitation of selling rice for P41.45 per kilo.
01:03 Before, they only allowed to buy 1 kilo of rice to give more to the people who want to buy cheaper rice.
01:11 The better quality of P41.45 per kilo of rice that is being sold now is being noticed by the buyers.
01:21 Mark?
01:22 Maybe that's just in Pasig Mega Market. Is it the same in other markets?
01:28 The Department of Agriculture is also monitoring the price of rice in other markets in Metro Manila.
01:38 In the market price of Kagawaan, the lowest price they saw was P40 for local regular milled rice,
01:45 while P43 per kilo for local well-milled rice.
01:49 The price of local premium rice has also fallen to P49 per kilo, while P54 per kilo for special rice.
01:58 Kagawaan is hoping that the price of rice will continue to fall while more rice will be sold by the farmers.
02:07 Back to you Mark.
02:09 That's a good news. Thank you Mark Macalalad of Super Radio DCBB.
