00:00In order to help Juan in budgeting, the government's target is to sell 30 pesos per kilo of rice by July in their chosen area.
00:11According to the leader of the Camera, it is possible that it will be expanded by the time the rice tariffication law is amended.
00:19Mela Lesmora is in the center of the news.
00:23House Speaker Martin Romualdez is confident that it is possible to start selling rice at a price lower than 30 pesos per kilo by July.
00:34Yesterday, at Romualdez's request to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr. regarding this issue,
00:40the two leaders announced their solidarity and cooperation in order to meet this target.
00:47Their plan is because the National Food Authority cannot sell their rice in the market under the rice tariffication law yet,
00:56they will first deliver rice worth of rice to the centers.
01:01We will do everything. That is our goal, to lower the price of rice.
01:08We are lucky that there are commodities like chicken, eggs, sugar, all commodities that lower the price of rice.
01:20In the past, the hands of the DA and NFA were tied due to certain laws that we have existing.
01:31So we are changing the law and hopefully Congress will pass it so that the DA and NFA can intervene in the issue of rice.
01:44If the amendment to the RTL is approved, the sale of cheap NFA rice will be expanded,
01:51not only in the surrounding area, but also in the whole country and not only in Cadiwa, but also in the whole family.
01:58According to Speaker Romualdez, he also supported the statement of President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.
02:04that he will certify as urgent the approval of the amendment to the RTL.
02:09Because of this, the problem of rice in the country will be solved.
02:14According to him, there are other laws.
02:17We feel that one of the main challenges that our countrymen are facing is the so-called price increase of rice.
02:27And amending the rice ratification law is one sure step that we can have more competitive prices for Filipinos.
02:38We will do everything, especially when our President certifies this as urgent.
02:43We will finish this before the Senate.
02:46We also urge our friends in the Senate to take the lead in the Senate to pass the similar amendments
02:56so that this initiative, this very important program, can be passed.
