00:00 The Department of Agriculture is positive that the production of rice will be more active in front of El Nino.
00:06 According to the Department of Agriculture's spokesperson, Assistant Secretary Arnel Demesa,
00:12 the planting of El Nino in the country has no major effect
00:16 and the agency expects that it will not cause a major problem.
00:21 Demesa also explained that the most significant effect of El Nino
00:27 is when the rice is in the productive stage or the rice is in full bloom.
00:32 The Philippines is already in the harvest season while the rice is in the decaying stage or El Nino is already in full bloom.
00:40 About 6,000 or 7,000 hectares, that's only about 0.5% of the total area planted in rice.
00:49 So this is very small.
00:51 The decay of El Nino and the period when El Nino is in full bloom,
00:58 this is also the time when we are harvesting rice.
