00:00Good news for those who will choose, starting today,
00:03you can buy 40 pesos per kilo of rice in their markets and train stations in Metro Manila
00:09under the Rice for All program of the government.
00:12Here is the hot news brought to you by Bea Pinlac.
00:17In this rice store in Kamuning Market in Quezon City,
00:21there is a variety of rice that is sold for 50 to 75 pesos per kilo.
00:27The price of well-milled rice is 40 pesos per kilo.
00:30Kamuning Market is one of the five markets in Metro Manila
00:34that will sell 40 pesos of rice under the Rice for All program.
00:38Even in MRT 3 North Avenue Station and LRT 1 Monumento Station,
00:43this will also be the sale price.
00:46For those who will choose, this is good news
00:49because they can budget more for what they will buy.
00:52I will try it because it looks good.
00:54It's good for the masses. It's good.
00:57It's really cheap now because almost everything is expensive.
01:03For 40 pesos, it's good for the masses.
01:06But according to some of the vendors we talked to,
01:09they are the ones who are trying to lower the price of their rice to 40 pesos.
01:14I'm lowering the price of rice.
01:16There's nothing I can do.
01:18That's what I want, to lower the price of rice.
01:21It's low, ma'am. It's always low.
01:23We can't afford to pay for rice.
01:27Even though they are willing to lower the price of rice to 40 pesos,
01:32they ask...
01:33It's better if they lower the price of rice
01:36because people like us who don't have a job,
01:40who want to buy cheap rice,
01:44they will be able to buy it.
01:45If there's 39 pesos, it's better.
01:47It's cheaper.
01:48It should be lower.
01:5040 pesos worth of rice will also be sold in Pangulo stores
01:54from Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
