00:00Here is the PTV news for now.
00:08The government called on importers not to delay the long-term importation of rice supplies to the provinces.
00:16In an inspection by House Speaker Martin Romualdez and several officials of the Bureau of Customs in Manila International Container Port,
00:22it was found that 25 tons of imported rice were left in the containers.
00:28It is possible that this will affect the supply and price of rice in the market.
00:33Officials reminded importers that it is strictly prohibited in the law to hoard and import smuggled rice.
00:41The President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. first ordered to reduce the price of imported rice
00:49and help our countrymen.
00:53When we went to the market, they told us that there is a shortage of rice.
00:57They said that there is a shortage of rice and that there is a shortage of rice supplies.
01:02But the rice was just hidden there.
01:06And now we can see that the Bureau of Customs is delaying the importation of rice.
01:12I hope they will stop their practice so that we can export all the rice we want.
01:20So that the price of rice can be reduced.
01:27Meanwhile, the 3rd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill has started today.
