00:00Starting today, the President will be able to buy 4.3 pesos per kilo of rice in Cason City.
00:06Some residents are lining up in a Kadiwa center to get their first 29 pesos per kilo of rice.
00:14First news, James Agustin.
00:19A carton of bedding was laid and a canteen was set up against the moxie rows.
00:23It was only 10 p.m. when the National Irrigation Administration in Cason City lined up outside the canteen.
00:30Its target is to be able to buy 29 pesos per kilo of cheap rice in Kadiwa Center.
00:34I have to go to school later, that's why I lined up early so I can finish early.
00:41Of course, that's what the budget can afford, that's why I was patient.
00:47Among those who can afford to buy 29 pesos of cheap rice are beneficiaries of 4Ps,
00:53persons with disabilities or PWDs, senior citizens, and solo parents.
00:58That's why the senior citizen, Ms. Florida, was also in line to get her rice.
01:03We want to be able to get our rice early so we won't be late.
01:08Sometimes it's already late, sometimes it's even until the afternoon.
01:13It's more important for us to get cheap rice because it's only 29 pesos per kilo.
01:17If you buy it for 51 pesos per kilo, that's the biggest minus for us.
01:23Emily, a member of 4Ps, is from Philcoas.
01:26She was also in line to buy cheap rice.
01:29Because rice is very expensive now.
01:33It's not enough for my family.
01:36This is my child. I'm the only one who can support my children.
01:44Aside from the 29 pesos per kilo of rice,
01:47starting today, the President will be able to buy 43 pesos per kilo of rice
01:52as part of the Rice for All program of the administration.
