00:00 The government's continued distribution of assistance to farmers and fishermen
00:05 who were severely affected by the El Niño phenomenon
00:07 has now reached more than P9 billion.
00:10 The Department of Agriculture is distributing the assistance.
00:13 Claycel Pardilla reports.
00:15 The Department of Agriculture has distributed P4.71 billion in assistance
00:25 to those affected by the El Niño phenomenon.
00:28 This includes financial assistance, water, free food and alternative livelihoods
00:35 for farmers and fishermen.
00:37 This is in line with the distribution of assistance
00:40 by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. of Presidential Assistance to Farmers, Fisherfolk and Families.
00:46 The Department of Agriculture has now reached P9.5 billion
00:51 due to the effects of the flood.
00:53 Farmers in Mimaropa, Cagayan and Western Visayas were not affected.
00:59 Despite this, the Department of Agriculture remains positive
01:03 that this did not have a big effect on the overall production of rice.
01:07 This is the latest report.
01:11 Hopefully, it is not that big.
01:16 The total area affected is 83,000 hectares.
01:23 The total damage is 24,000 hectares.
01:25 Still below our expected 150,000 hectares
01:29 of total area to be affected by the El Niño.
01:33 Meanwhile, the Department of Trade and Industry
01:37 is monitoring the supply and price of the main buyers
01:41 in front of the city of Bantanang, Lanina.
01:43 The Local Price Coordinating Council will revive
01:47 the help in monitoring stores, groceries and supermarkets in the country.
01:52 DTI will take care of it.
01:54 Now, we will increase our efforts in price monitoring.
01:59 Hoarding and any other acts of illegal price manipulation
02:05 will be caught by our DTI price monitors
02:09 and they will be charged with a serious case.
02:12 DTI is also working hard to create platforms
02:16 to make the prices of goods affordable
02:19 according to the President's wishes.
02:21 Five manufacturers of processed meat products,
02:24 milk, water and instant noodles
02:27 have announced a voluntary price freeze to the agency.
02:30 This means that their products will not move
02:34 for 60 days.
02:37 DTI is also expecting a new suggested retail price bulletin
02:42 for the main buyers.
02:44 It will focus on products that have been affected by shrink inflation.
02:49 As a help to our consumers,
02:52 our SRP bulletin will have a unit cost of the buyers.
02:59 This means that we will see the price of the goods
03:03 per gram, per ml, per unit cost.
03:07 This will be our mark
03:09 so that we can know the prices that are rising
03:12 or the prices that are not moving but are decreasing.
03:16 What DTI's price bulletin will highlight
03:20 is the importance of guiding and monitoring consumers
03:23 on the products they are buying.
