00:00The Association of Agricultural Industries called for the blacklisting of the importers

00:07who supply rice to the ports.

00:11Meanwhile, the Philippine Ports Authority has also issued a warning that until October 1,

00:16the deadline to export some bags of imported rice

00:19that until now are still in the ports is still pending.

00:23Details on this were reported by Gleisel Pardilla.

00:27Until the first day of October, the Philippine Ports Authority issued a warning

00:34to export the bags of imported rice that are still in the ports and are being hurriedly exported to the ports.

00:41They are waiting for the opportunity to increase the demand,

00:46to lower the price, and then they will export it.

00:49If it has not been claimed by October 1,

00:51what we are talking about here are loads that are more than 30 days duel time.

00:56We endorsed this to the Bureau of Customs, and then we, for them, declared that this shipment is abandoned.

01:03Just recently, the PPA announced that there are more than 800 shipping containers

01:09that contain almost 24 million kilos of imported rice

01:14stacked on two floors in the city of Manila.

01:18More than half of the imported rice has been stored here for more than a month,

01:22and there are a few more that will reach almost 300 days.

01:26Because of our endorsement,

01:29over the weekend, only 300 containers were pulled out by its consignees.

01:38The Bureau of Customs issued a warning to the importers to hoard and forfeit the shipment.

01:45They should be punished.

01:47It has been a long time in the ports.

01:50It has been almost nine months,

01:53and it is a big issue of hoarding, misclaiming,

01:57so they should be punished by the government for forfeiting the rice products.

02:05It is now a part of the large number of our Filipino immigrants

02:10because many of them are starving.

02:14The Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura called for blacklisting the importers

02:20who are holding the supply of rice in the ports.

02:23According to the Bureau of Plant Industry,

02:26more than 3 million metric tons of rice has been allowed to reach the Philippines since January this year.

02:35According to the Bureau of Plant Industry,

02:37consumers should feel the decrease in the price of rice

02:40after the price of imported rice has decreased.

02:44What we can still see is that the price should decrease

02:50because there is a big increase,

02:5216 million metric tons of imported rice.

02:58According to their permit,

03:00it is suspected that the PPA is really building a warehouse.

03:06That is why the Bureau of Plant Industry is blacklisting.

03:11The Bureau of Plant Industry will inspect

03:14if the quality of the imported rice is still good and safe to eat.

03:19We are concerned about food safety.

03:21We have only loaded rice for 275 days,

03:24so it has been nine months since we have been hoarding rice.

03:27We need to see when it has been harvested

03:30because if it has been harvested for a year,

03:32it means that the rice has been stored for a long time.

03:34We just would like to ensure the food safety of the rice.
