00:00 Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Monteveros seeks a Senate probe into what she calls the
00:05 quote "uncoordinated and contradicting policies on rice regulation" of President Ferdinand
00:11 Marcos Jr.'s government.
00:13 Monteveros files Senate Resolution No. 794, calling for an investigation into Marcos'
00:18 Executive Order No. 39, that imposed a price ceiling on regular milled and well-milled
00:23 rice starting September 5.
00:25 Monteveros cites economists' opposition to the stopgap measure and the seeming lack of
00:29 coordination among government ranks in light of the price cap.
00:33 Finance Secretary Benjamin Diogno earlier admitted the economic team was taken by surprise
00:38 by EO 39 and that Marcos did not extensively consult them on the plan.
