00:05 The first destination of the President was the province of Capiz,
00:09 where 1,000 4-piece beneficiaries received 25 kilos of rice.
00:15 The center of the news is from Kenneth Paciente.
00:18 In the ongoing fight against the needs,
00:23 the Visayas region was the one who benefited from the rice subsidy program of the government.
00:28 In the province of Capiz, President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. distributed the rice
00:34 where the 1,000 beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4-piece received 25 kilos of rice.
00:42 The President insisted that this is a way for the government to ease the lives of some of our countrymen.
00:48 We are here again to personally distribute free rice to our beloved Capiznon
00:56 so that you can reduce your worries about food.
01:00 The President also distributed the rice to the agriculture and finance departments
01:05 so that the beneficiaries can benefit from the rice even faster.
01:09 The Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund or RCEF became the Rice Farmers Financial Assistance Program.
01:16 But even though the government is ready to fight,
01:19 the President asked the beneficiaries to continue to strive.
01:23 My only request is that you should continue to strive and work hard
01:29 so that you can improve your lives and help other Filipinos who are in need of help.
01:37 Following this, the President again imposed the provisions on smuggling and hoarding,
01:41 which is the reason for the increase in the price of agricultural products in the market.
01:46 We have a lot of people who are being deceived by the government.
01:53 The smugglers and hoarders are getting angry.
01:57 The market is being destroyed,
01:59 so the price of the products they buy is increasing because of their illegal activities.
02:05 As an action, the President is now asking the Congress
02:09 to amend the law to continue to incriminate
02:13 the agricultural economic sabotage and heavy penalties.
02:17 The Executive Board also urged the public to be vigilant
02:21 and not to allow smugglers and hoarders to report.
02:25 Don't be afraid to smuggle.
02:28 Remember,
02:30 the progress of the new Philippines
02:33 will bring prosperity, prosperity, and a stable life.
02:38 We will make sure of this.
02:40 Aside from the rice subsidy, the President also asked for various government assistance,
02:44 including corn and rines insurance, scholarship insurance, and more.
02:49 Aside from the copies, the Executive Board of the Rice Subsidy in Antique and Aklan
02:55 will also distribute the other government assistance.
02:57 Kenneth Paciente, for the nation.
