00:17There's a lot of flood here in Likap, bro.
00:19And a lot of people drowned, bro.
00:21Here.
00:22That's why it's so heavy.
00:24This flood flooded the coast of Montilicab, Nueva Ecija.
00:29Because the rice fields are already full of water.
00:32After the typhoon Habagat and the super typhoon Karina,
00:36according to the Department of Agriculture,
00:38the value of tinsala in the agriculture sector reached Php 203 million.
00:45Out of the 2,574 metric tons of production,

01:01In Oriental Milloro, at Php 59 million.
01:06In Pampanga, at Php 43 million.
01:10In Bulacan, at Php 3 million.
01:12Most of this is in the early vegetative stage,
01:16so it can still recover.
01:18More than 1,000 farmers were affected by Habagat and the super typhoon.
01:23The Department of Agriculture is already in a position
01:27to provide assistance to the regional offices of the agency,
01:29including Php 72,000 for rice,
01:32Php 40,000 for corn,
01:35and Php 25,000 for shore loans.
01:38A Php 1 billion quick response fund is also available
01:42that is ready to be distributed by the agency.
01:44If not, the Department of Agriculture will reduce the rice supply
01:51and there is no reason to increase the price in the market.
01:54There's no reason to worry about the high price of rice
01:59because, again, our harvest is good during dry season.
02:03We have enough harvest.
02:04Our importation level is also high.
02:10So our stock inventory...
02:12The DA will also continue to sell Php 29 of rice.
02:17But for now,
02:18the Bureau of Animal Industry and Nocebo-Lacan
02:23will be able to buy cheap rice from the DA.
02:25Under the instructions of the Secretary,
02:28the areas where Php 29 and rice can be sold
02:34can be sold
02:35because there are also many places that have been affected.
02:39Others are, of course, priority are relief operations.
