00:03 For those who are looking for cheap rice, the National Irrigation Administration has an announcement.

00:09 Administrator Eduardo Guillen said that starting in August,

00:13 they will sell 29 pesos per kilo of rice in their Kadiwa store in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.

00:21 This is part of their contract farming project. Each family will be allowed to buy up to 10 kilos of rice in the Kadiwa stores of NIA.

00:30 In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,

00:34 the local rice price ranges from Php 46 to Php 65 per kilo in Metro Manila.

00:40 While Php 48 to Php 65 is imported.

00:44 [Music]

00:47 Starting in August, the National Irrigation Administration will sell 29 pesos per kilo of rice.

00:53 Let's talk to NIA Administrator Eduardo Guillen.

00:56 Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:59 Good morning. Welcome to our show.

01:02 Where did you get the idea to sell 29 pesos per kilo of rice? And why is it so cheap?

01:08 We have a contract farming project. We expect that in 40,000 hectares,

01:17 our initial project, we can get around 100 million kilos of rice.

01:26 This is part of our services for our farmers.

01:34 We can teach them the whole value chain of rice production.

01:39 Actually, NIA is not the only one involved in this.

01:43 This is our convergence project together with PIL Rice, National Rice Program, PILMEC, Philippine Crop Insurance, and CVA.

01:55 NIA is building our irrigation associations into cooperatives per town.

02:02 Let me just clarify, this is not subsidized.

02:06 This is the price that comes from the farmers themselves.

02:10 Yes, because there is no subsidy for the farmers.

02:14 The total that we will give them per hectare is around Php 100,000.

02:20 So, what NIA will return is 5 tons or 5,000 kilos.

02:25 So, in effect, we are buying 20 pesos per kilogram of wet rice for our farmers.

02:32 There are a lot of dry crops because of the heat.

02:34 What is the situation of irrigation in our country right now?

02:37 What happens is, during dry season, the water that we save from our reservoir type dams,

02:44 we use it for irrigation.

02:46 So, now, we are waiting for the rain to fill our dams.

02:52 This is the regular process.

02:55 So, when it rains, our dams will be filled again.

02:59 Okay. Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.

03:03 Thank you.

03:04 Thank you.

03:05 NIA Administrator Eduardo Gullien.

03:13 President Bongbong Marcos is targeting the water resources management office under DENR,

03:19 the communities that do not have a good supply of water.

03:22 According to DENR, 40 million Filipinos do not have a formal water supply

03:27 or those who rely on bucals, sapas, and rain to have water.

03:32 Most of them are in small islands in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region and Muslim Mindanao.

03:38 That is why the immediate solution is desalination or the filtration of salt water

03:44 to make it clean and drinkable.

03:47 DENR is already talking to their supplier abroad for desalination systems

03:52 that is planned to be delivered to 45 priority island barangays.

04:03 Ding dong, mga mary at paren! Here are the latest on some Kapuso stars.

04:08 Tune in now for the ultimate Ding Dong Day!

04:12 The grand reveal is tomorrow.

04:14 You will be there with Kapuso's prime time king, Ding Dong Dantes.

04:17 The live stream will be on 10.30am on official social media accounts of Kapuso Network.

04:23 Make your mama proud, King of Talk, Boy Abunda.

04:29 You can watch the talk series My Mother, My Story starting this Sunday.

04:34 It will feature different stories about mothers.

04:37 Some Kapuso officers went to the launch of the series.

04:40 Former President Rodrigo Duterte asked for a permit to hold a peace rally in a park in Dumaguete City.

04:52 I was angry. I went through the Freedom Park. That's what we wanted.

05:00 We went here, we asked for a permit.

05:05 They gave us. The day we arrived, they took the permit and destroyed the Freedom Park.

05:16 This is from Malacanang. It was the same in Bustos, Bulacan.

05:24 The former president's statement was a bit harsh.

05:27 The Freedom Park and the Capitol were in the middle of a riot before they were gathered.

05:32 He should be using any park and any other park in the Philippines owned by the national government.

05:39 The provincial government issued a short notice asking the group to hold a prayer rally in a public park.

05:46 The provincial government has scheduled activities in the park since Monday for the centennial celebration of the Capitol building on May 17.

05:54 The new heavy equipment that the provincial government bought for various LGUs was also scheduled yesterday.

06:01 They gave an alternative, a Freedom Park, as per the law.

06:06 Malacanang has yet to comment on the former president's statement.

06:10 The heat is not yet over. The heavy rains should be prepared due to the La Niña phenomenon.

06:18 According to Anna Solis, the Chief of the Climatology and Agro-Meteorology Division,

06:24 the La Niña could start in June and August.

06:29 The rain and floods in the country will be more severe in the last part of 2024 and the first months of 2025.

06:38 That's why the areas that are near or near to flood or landslide should be prepared and alert.

06:46 Here's the breaking news.

06:50 Some houses in Antipolo, Rizal lost electricity after a power pole fell down.

06:56 A truck was stuck in a line of cables.

06:59 A woman and her partner were injured after being hit by the police.

07:03 Two motorcycles were also damaged.

07:05 The truck's driver surrendered to the authorities

07:08 and was charged with reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property.

07:12 He did not give a statement.

07:14 Three Korean men were arrested in Talay, Cebu.

07:19 According to the Bureau of Immigration, the three men are on the Interpol Red Notice List

07:23 because of their high-tech way of entering houses in Korea.

07:26 They are studying the victims using a tracking device and a spy camera.

07:31 The first group to be arrested in Korea were the three men.

07:34 They went to the Philippines before the Interpol Red Notice was issued.

07:38 They are still investigating if they were victims here in the Philippines

07:41 before they were deported back to Korea.

07:44 The suspects who are detained in BI-Sabikutan are still trying to get their statement.

07:51 The unemployment rate in the Philippines increased by 3.9% in March

07:55 from 3.5% in February.

07:58 According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

08:01 the 2 million Filipinos aged 15 and above lost their jobs in March.

08:06 That's more than 200,000 compared to February.

08:10 More than 49 million have jobs or 96.1% of the labor force.

08:16 Of that, 11% or more than 5 million are underemployed

08:21 or those who have jobs but are still looking for extra hours of work.

08:26 They say, "Driver, sweet lover."

08:33 A jeepney driver from Cebu has a sweet gesture to his passengers.

08:38 This is his burger. You're there.

08:41 Yes.

08:42 Passengers at the back, please move aside.

08:45 The plate or the massager is free.

08:48 There's a burger.

08:49 That's the birthday treat of Tal Villasan.

08:53 In 2018, while he was busy due to an accident,

08:58 he got better and was able to return to the road.

09:00 He started the birthday tradition of free ride and a burger as a snack.

09:06 And on his last day, the first 60 passengers got a burger as a gift.

09:10 Always remember, your heartwarming act is certified.

09:14 Good job!

09:16 You thought it was free, right?

09:18 You're lucky that 60 passengers got a free burger.

09:23 He's giving back his reason for getting a burger.

09:28 If you really lost your sight and that's your job, what a blessing.
