00:00For our fellow countrymen, from the vulnerable sector, the government will expand the sale of cheap rice under the Rice For All program.
00:13And not only that, because the so-called program and Project 29 will reach Visayas and Mindanao.
00:22For more information on this, stay tuned to Centro na Balita with Clayzel Pardilla, live.
00:30Yes, Angelique, the Department of Agriculture will expand the sale of P29 per kilo of rice, not only here in Luzon, but also in Visayas and Mindanao.
00:42The DA will also sell P45 to P48 per kilo of rice in the month of August.
00:50Lita couldn't help but cry when she was able to buy P29 per kilo of rice.
00:57She was able to save money to buy food and medicine for her husband who had a stroke.
01:03I'm 56 years old now, in the market.
01:07If I sell here, it will be almost P2 per kilo.
01:10I will just endure it.
01:12Where can you use the money you saved?
01:15For my husband's medicine.
01:17For more four-piece solo pay rent, old and with savings, to benefit from the P29 per kilo of rice,
01:25the Department of Agriculture will expand Project 29.
01:30Not only in Luzon, the sale of cheap rice will also be easier in Kadiwa stores in Visayas and Mindanao.
01:38The DA's Rise for All program will be rolled out at the same time.
01:42Target, the Department of Agriculture will sell P45 to P48 per kilo of rice
01:49for the so-called general public or ordinary consumer.
01:53The rice will come from the partners, cooperatives and traders of the agency.
01:58Our overall Kadiwa number is 300 plus nationwide plus.
02:03What we can call here are the local governments.
02:07The intention of our program is to have access to cheap rice.
02:11This is the initiative of our President.
02:13This is good news for senior citizen, Rodolfo, but he is strict.
02:18In general, there should be really cheap rice.
02:22The Department of Agriculture will lower the price of rice
02:26in front of the slow decrease of the value of imported rice in the market.
02:31From P600 in December, it dropped to P531 per metric ton of imported rice.
02:40This is what some rice retailers feel.
02:42There is a decrease of P50 per 25 kilos.
02:46Before, we sold P58, now I made it P56.
02:51In the price monitoring of the DA, the local rice per kilo is P45 to P65.
02:58P47 to P65 is imported.
03:02P3 is cheaper compared to the price in March
03:06which is the highest price of rice in 15 years.
03:11Hopefully, it will still go down in July.
03:14Our supply is also good, there is no problem.
03:19Of course, the decrease of the price will have an effect
03:24according to the study of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
03:29It will be able to reach the range of P40s, especially in the wild milk price.
03:36Angelique, aside from increasing the production of rice and decreasing the price of rice,
03:41the Department of Agriculture is also targeting other sectors of agriculture.
03:45Today, the DA issued guidelines for the Revised Recovery Program for those in the hog industry.
03:52The Department of Agriculture has agreed to provide a support package of P10 to P16 million
03:59for those who are raising pigs to increase the production and lower the price in the market.
04:05That is the latest news from Quezon City.
04:08Back to you, Angelique.
04:11Okay, Clay.
04:12Some people are saying that they hope that there will be more Kadiwa stores
04:17because if they are far away, they will be massaged.
04:20And if they pay for the massage, they will be paid equally
04:26or they will be paid if they buy cheaper rice from Kadiwa.
04:32Yes, Angelique.
04:33The Department of Agriculture is saying that this is just a large-scale trial.
04:39But wait, there's more.
04:41According to the DA, they will double and increase the sale of P29 of rice.
04:48There are 300 Kadiwa stores.
04:50And that is the target of the Department of Agriculture,
04:53to open and supply P29 of rice
04:57so that not only the poor Filipinos but also the residents will be able to access it.
05:05Angelique?
05:06Okay, thank you very much, Clayzel Pardilla.
