00:00 Rain or shine, the rice retailers were eager to receive help.
00:06 Meanwhile, the price of chili has gone up because of the rising price.
00:12 That's what Clayzel Pardilla reported.
00:15 Ivan doesn't hesitate to eat if he can't taste the spiciness of the chili.
00:25 I don't eat chili if it's not hot.
00:31 I can taste the spiciness if I can't taste the spiciness.
00:33 That's the only difference between the previous price of 70 to 180 pesos per kilo.
00:39 Now, it's going up to 500 to 750 pesos per kilo.
00:44 In Marikina Public Market, the price of chili has gone up to 650 pesos.
00:52 So, if you weigh a kilo of chili, you'll pay 26 pesos for two massages.
01:04 The price of chili has gone up to 250 pesos.
01:07 It didn't go up yet.
01:09 It suddenly went up to 500 pesos.
01:12 Then, it went up to 600 pesos.
01:14 Then, it went up to 650 pesos.
01:16 There's no supply.
01:18 Ray is happy that he's using labuyo chili in his chili garlic sauce.
01:24 I'll lose my customer if I don't have chili.
01:27 So, I'll buy it.
01:28 If you earn 1,000 pesos, you'll lose 600 pesos.
01:35 To avoid losing money, some sellers discard the chili.
01:39 I'll put a little chili so that people will know that I have chili.
01:43 It's expensive, but if it's cheap, I'll buy it.
01:48 According to the Bureau of Plant Industry, it's the season of the crop, but...
01:53 The production areas of chili were damaged due to typhoons.
01:59 Typhoons have been coming in lately, and it mostly hit Luzon.
02:05 The majority of our production areas are in Luzon, so it's greatly affected by typhoons.
02:11 That's what caused our supply to decrease.
02:15 The planting areas were damaged, so there's not much chili to harvest.
02:21 When the supply goes down, there's a tendency for the prices to go up in the market.
02:27 The Philippines is not growing chili, so labuyo chili is the solution to meet the supply.
02:35 Meanwhile, rice retailers in Concepcion Do, Marikina, did not show signs of rain this morning.
02:44 Like Gemma, who was wet and was shivering when she arrived at Barangay Hall.
02:49 We didn't expect it to rain that hard.
02:52 Before, I used to sell a lot of rice.
02:56 Now, I only sell two baskets because rice is really expensive.
03:04 Gemma is the only one in more than four rice retailers and wholesalers in Marikina
03:10 that were affected by the price cap and received a small 15,000 pesos in aid.
03:16 But if others were able to get a rebound,
03:20 others went home with tears, like Elmer, whose name was not on the list.
03:26 I'm sad because I was here this morning.
03:30 That's what happened.
03:32 Others have misspelled the name but the DDI is sure.
03:38 Because of the DSWD's policy, it is necessary to be sure that the list on their table matches
03:46 and the ID that the beneficiary will show,
03:49 not only will they be able to give their aid now because of some administrative matter.
03:55 But rest assured that typographical error, clerical error can easily be rectified.
04:02 Just wait. Even beyond September 14, tomorrow, the aid will be received.
04:07 The distribution of aid to more than 70 rice retailers in Mandaluyong City became fast.
04:14 This is a big help because I can still get rice and I can still go around.
04:21 50 rice retailers in Makati City also received aid today.
04:27 According to the DDI, 90% of rice retailers are able to meet the price cap,
04:33 41 pesos for regular meal and 45 pesos for well-mealed rice.
04:38 To lower the price of rice,
04:42 Congressman Stella Kimbo suggested that the price of imported rice should be reduced.
04:48 But...
04:51 Because it's harvest time. So let's let the harvest be.
04:54 And then let's time the suspension of tariffs.
04:57 And then at the same time, let's give cash assistance to the people.
05:01 Kalei Zalpardiliya, for the people.
