02:10There's no reason to worry that the price of rice will increase

02:19We have enough harvest.
02:21Our importation is also high.
02:27So our stock inventory...
02:29The DA will continue to sell Php 29 rice
02:35under the P29 program of the agency.
02:39But for now, it is up to the Bureau of Animal Industry
02:43and the Nocebolacan to open the Kadiwa store
02:47after the flood has opened some Kadiwa centers.
02:53The Secretary's instruction is that in the areas where P29 and Kadiwa can be sold,
03:01it can be sold because there are also many places that have been flooded.
03:06The other priority is the relief operations.
03:15Kenneth, aside from agricultural products or the sector of agriculture
03:19that is also affected by the heavy rains and the super flood of rice,
03:24the supply of electricity last night was at 6,000 customers of Meralco.

03:39But as of 10 a.m., the number of affected customers decreased to 330,000.
03:47According to Meralco, it was affected by the fall of a tree
03:51and the line of electricity was also affected.
03:55But Meralco is doing its best to restore the supply of electricity
04:01and to provide electricity to its customers, our fellow countrymen.
04:06This is the latest from Quezon City.
