Transcript

00:00 The former Secretary of Agriculture's Department of Agriculture supported the proposal to amend the Rice Terrification Law.

00:08 According to the former DA Secretary Manny Pinoyol,

00:11 President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.'s decision is right, especially for the benefit of consumers.

00:19 Pinoyol explained, if the sale of rice can be returned to the NFA,

00:24 the poor Filipino families will have a chance to buy cheap rice.

00:31 The former government also added that it is an obligation to provide an option to the public

00:37 where they can buy cheap rice.

00:40 When it comes to the issue of corruption, Pinoyol said that there are laws to be a safety net up to this point.

00:48 So the President right now is correct in calling for the amendment of this flawed legislation.

00:55 The NFA rice should be returned to the market.

00:59 The rice industry should be returned under the supervision of the government.

01:02 We cannot allow the staple food of the Filipinos to be controlled by the rice cartel.

01:05 And I would like to thank the President for this.

01:07 The corruption is not the NFA.

01:09 The people who run the NFA are the ones involved in the corruption.

01:13 And there are safety nets instituted by law to address problems like corruption.

01:20 There is the Ombudsman, there is the San Diego Bayan.
