00:00 The Department of Agriculture has already received a 4.71 billion pesos in aid to those affected by the El Niño phenomenon.
00:11 The aid included financial aid, water, free food and alternative livelihoods for farmers and fishermen.
00:20 This is in line with the distribution of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. of Presidential Assistance to Farmers, Fisherfolk and Families.
00:29 The Department of Agriculture has already received a 9.5 billion pesos in aid to those affected by the El Niño phenomenon.
00:36 The most affected are farmers in Mimaropa, Cagayan and Western Visayas.
00:42 Despite this, the Department of Agriculture remains positive that this will not have a big impact on the overall production of rice.
00:50 This is the latest report and hopefully, it will not be that big.
00:59 The total area affected is 83,000 hectares and the total damage is 24,000 hectares.
01:07 Still below our expected 150,000 hectares of total area to be affected by El Niño.
01:15 Meanwhile, the Department of Trade and Industry is currently monitoring the supply and price of the main products to be purchased in front of the city of Laniña.
01:26 The Local Price Coordinating Council will revive its role in monitoring the stores, grocery and supermarkets in the country.
01:35 DTI will report.
01:37 Now, we will increase our efforts in price monitoring, hoarding and any other acts of illegal price manipulation.
01:48 DTI will monitor and report on the cases.
01:55 DTI is also working hard to build bridges to make the prices of goods that are purchased in line with the President's wishes.
02:04 Five manufacturers of processed meat products, milk, water and instant noodles have announced a voluntary price freeze to the agency.
02:13 This means that their products will not move for 60 days.
02:19 DTI is also expecting to issue a new suggested retail price bulletin to the main buyers.
02:26 This will target the products that have been subjected to shrink inflation.
02:31 As a help to our consumers, we will issue a SRP bulletin.
02:37 We will include unit costs of the products.
02:41 This means that we can see the price of the products per gram, per ml, per unit cost.
02:49 This will be our mark to know the products that are increasing or not moving in price but are reducing weight.
02:59 DTI's price bulletin is important as a guide and a way for consumers to monitor the products they are buying.
