00:00 Following the removal of President Bongbong Marcos' price cap on rice,
00:08 how much is the price of rice in the families?
00:12 Let's first look at the price in the province in the live news of Joanne Ponsoy of GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon.
00:20 Joanne?
00:25 You know, Connie Rafi, when we go around the Kalasyao Public Market,
00:30 we can count the rice retailers that sell 41 pesos per kilo of rice, or regular milled rice,
00:36 while lifting the price ceiling or price cap on the price of rice.
00:40 Most of the stores here in the rice market are selling at 45 pesos per kilo,
00:45 which is the cheapest price they sell in the market.
00:48 This is the well-milled rice.
00:50 According to them, the supply of regular milled rice is still low in the market.
00:58 Although, for now, Connie Rafi, it is the season of harvest,
01:02 according to them, if there is a regular milled rice supply,
01:06 the quality is not good, it is crushed or the color is brown.
01:10 That's why they are choosing the 45 pesos per kilo price of rice,
01:15 which is the cheapest price they sell in the market.
01:18 Although, Connie and Rafi, the rice supply has increased,
01:23 the rice supply is increasing from the Karatig Region,
01:27 particularly in Central Luzon, Neva Ecija, and Cagayan Valley Region,
01:32 they expect that the price of rice will possibly go down from 45 pesos per kilo, which is the cheapest.
01:38 But it still depends, Rafi and Connie, on the price of rice here in the market,
01:43 of course, the price of rice, and at the same time, the price of the rice used for transportation
01:49 in the transportation of rice to different provinces.
01:53 Rafi, Connie?
01:55 Joan, it seems like there is no mommy milly behind you.
01:58 Is the sale of rice reasonable?
02:00 What do the rice vendors say?
02:03 Sorry, Connie.
02:09 Yes, yes.
02:10 Please repeat the question. It's a bit noisy here in our background.
02:13 We just noticed that there is no mommy milly behind you.
02:18 Is the scenario really like that?
02:20 Is the sale reasonable?
02:22 What do the rice vendors say?
02:24 Yes, Connie.
02:28 Actually, since the price ceiling was implemented,
02:32 even though the price of rice in the market has already been lowered,
02:36 the sale of rice in the market is still reasonable.
02:40 If possible, the price of rice should be lowered so that there will be more mommy milly.
02:45 As the retailers said, Connie, even if the price is lowered,
02:49 if there is no or even if there is a small demand,
02:52 especially for the mommy milly, the rice retailers will not be able to earn money.
02:57 Alright, thank you very much, Joan Ponsoy of Jimmy Regional TV 1, North Central Luzon.
03:04 Let's check the price of rice here in Metro Manila.
03:08 After removing it, this is the price cap.
03:11 We have live news, Dano Tinkunco.
03:13 Dano!
03:14 Connie, Rafi, did you buy rice earlier?
03:21 Because if you will buy rice,
03:23 today, maybe some people are thinking that it's too expensive because the price cap is gone.
03:30 Wrong.
03:31 Because here in the Commonwealth Market, you can still buy rice for P41.45 per kilo.
03:40 The more expensive and fancy rice that cost P60.00 before,
03:47 as the retailers we talked to said,
03:49 it has even gone down to P4.00.
03:52 For example, if you will look at the price of rice now,
03:56 you will still find P50.00, P52.00, P55.00, P56.00, etc.
04:01 If you will think about it, it has gone up.
04:03 But those prices are now P4.00 cheaper compared to the price before the President made it price ceiling.
04:11 Then, the regular and well-milled rice that was P41.45 before,
04:16 is still P41.45 here in the Commonwealth Market.
04:20 The retailers said that the price of rice in September is still high until now,
04:25 because that means that they are able to get lower prices now compared to the time before,
04:31 which was July or August.
04:33 We also talked to a retailer that when the price cap was declining,
04:36 they were able to find rice that they can sell for P41.00 and P45.00
04:42 when their harvest was not in full bloom.
04:45 What they are waiting for now is if this will continue,
04:50 or if the price of rice will go down again like the middleman and crudo.
04:57 The rice is really a big thing.
05:00 That's how it is.
05:02 If there is no rice, the price of rice really goes up.
05:05 The lowest price before was P54.00.
05:08 Now, there is P54.00.
05:10 This is different.
05:11 When the price was over, we were able to get a lower price.
05:15 Now, we are not able to get anything because the price has gone up.
05:20 Last night, the price cap was removed.
05:24 The question is, will it go down or go up?
05:29 Of course, the retailers that I talked to were a bit disappointed
05:37 because the price of rice has gone down compared to the time before.
05:41 But this is not the only thing that is expensive now.
05:43 The search is on for the cheapest price that they can buy.
05:48 It's better if the price of rice goes down now
05:53 because it's easier for the buyers to buy.
05:58 It helps in other purchases like buying rice from the market.
06:09 It's a bit cheap now because it's P56.00, P55.00.
06:13 It's going down.
06:14 It's not like it was P16.00 before.
06:17 I'm old.
06:18 It's hard to find a job when you're old.
06:21 I can only do the light work.
06:24 Of course, it's not just here in the Commonwealth Market that the situation is like that.
06:32 When our team checked earlier in the Blue Mint Treat Market in Manila,
06:37 the system is the same.
06:38 You can still buy P41.00 and P45.00 if that's what your budget can afford.
06:43 But if you can afford something fancy,
06:45 it's between P2.00 and P3.00 which is cheaper than before.
06:51 Connie, Rafi?
06:52 Thank you very much, Dano Tingcunco.
