00:00The Department of Agriculture will bring cheaper rice to everyone.

00:04This is because from tomorrow,

00:06the Rice for All program will be launched to their main families in Metro Manila.

00:11And not only that,

00:12because LRT and MRT stations will also be able to buy rice.

00:16For more information, let's find out in the center of the news of Isaiah Mirafuentes.

00:22We managed to buy rice from Evelyn in the last market in Quezon City.

00:27She sells rice every day.

00:31The price of rice is still high.

00:34The lowest price I can buy is 45 pesos.

00:39Actually, it's 50 pesos.

00:41It's easy for us.

00:43She has nothing to do because she knows that rice cannot be left out of food.

00:49It's important for us because we eat it every day.

00:53Morning, afternoon, and evening.

00:56But like Evelyn, there will be a small change in some buyers.

01:01Because from tomorrow,

01:02the Department of Agriculture will be established under the leadership of President Quiosque

01:07in their market in NCR,

01:09where you can buy well-milled rice for 40 pesos per kilo.

01:13It will be the first to be launched tomorrow in public markets in Metro Manila,

01:17particularly in Guadalupe, Camoning, Malabon, Pasay, and Las Piñas.

01:23Aside from this,

01:24the government's target is for President Quiosque's department to also open

01:28in other markets in Metro Manila.

01:30These are the markets where the price of rice is a bit high.

01:39You can check.

01:41Actually, it's in the range of 45 to more than 50 pesos,

01:45especially in Pasay.

01:46But it's not just in the markets.

01:49Mulang Bigas will also sell rice at LRT Station in Monumento

01:53and MRT Station in North Avenue.

01:55There are bags of 5 to 10 kilos of rice.

01:58But you can still buy a kilo of rice.

02:03And there's no limit to how much you can buy.

02:07We don't have any issue in terms of volume and stocks

02:11that we have when it comes to rice.

02:13According to the DA,

02:15he hopes that this will not only spread in Metro Manila,

02:18but also in other provinces.

02:21We'll start with Metro Manila,

02:23and eventually expand to other provinces.

02:28How much rice can be bought?

02:31Imported and locally grown.

02:34President Quiosque's office is open from Tuesday to Saturday

02:38from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

02:41Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture is pushing

02:44to revive the Anti-Rice Wastage Act.

02:48Under this law,

02:50restaurants and eateries are forced to serve half a cup of rice.

02:56For Tatay Donato, this must be passed

02:59because of the wasted rice of the customers in the canteen.

03:03Sometimes, you can't eat that.

03:09We can only eat the bird.

03:12Based on the data of the Philippine Rice Institute of Field Rice,

03:15more than a tablespoon of rice is wasted every day.

03:19This is equivalent to 250,000 metric tons per year

03:23or more than 5 million bags of rice.

03:26If this is not wasted,

03:282.8 million Filipinos will still be able to eat.

03:32Isaiah Mirafuentes for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.

P40/kg na well-milled rice, mabibili na sa ilang malalaking pamilihan sa Metro Manila at ilang MRT-LRT stations sa ilalim ng 'Rice-for-All' program ng D.A.
