00:00 Now that rice is expensive, Filipinos can adjust their diet according to the Department of Trade and Industry.

00:08 There is an alternative to white rice.

00:11 But some lawmakers were shocked when they asked what happened to the cheap rice that the President promised.

00:20 Joseph Moro has a report.

00:26 Rice is life for Filipinos. It's not complete if there's no rice.

00:30 It's not just about salt. Rice is everything.

00:33 But many are now forcing themselves to reduce rice.

00:36 Not to make money, but because rice is expensive.

00:40 In some families in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan,

00:43 the cheapest rice is already P50 per kilo.

00:46 P10 more than last week.

00:49 In a market in Quezon City, P47 to P59 per kilo of rice.

00:56 It hurts my pocket.

00:57 You can buy a little, but if you spend a lot, it's a budget.

01:01 The rice is like this.

01:04 It's better if I just diet.

01:07 One of the possible outcomes of Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual is the adjustment of Filipino diets.

01:14 He says that the alternatives to rice are sweet potatoes and white corn.

01:19 Adapt and adjust our diet.

01:26 Diet is very traditional.

01:30 We are used to eating rice.

01:32 But there are other alternatives.

01:33 Some mothers are also looking for alternatives.

01:36 Sweet potatoes and bananas.

01:38 That's a heavy diet.

01:39 I prefer sweet potatoes because it has all the benefits.

01:45 For a nutritionist, sweet potatoes are very rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, especially vitamin A, and also minerals.

01:54 Our corn provides B vitamins, antioxidants, and also fiber.

02:00 So including these alternatives to white rice can promote better digestion and also nutrient intake.

02:08 But the better choice often depends on the individual nutritional needs.

02:14 House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro is insensitive to say that he will change his diet or diet while the price of rice is constantly rising and he will buy more.

02:25 Castro's question is, President Marcos promised 20 pesos per kilo of rice, but why is it happening differently?

02:32 He said that this promise should be fulfilled and that the government should not pass the annual incompetence test to the Filipinos.

02:39 Malacanang and Pascual have not yet answered this question.

02:42 But Pascual said that the government is trying to increase the production of rice so that the supply is sufficient and the price is stable.

02:51 Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
