00:00It is expected that the price of rice will be cheaper for all of the President's wives.
00:05Starting today, the price of 45 pesos per kilo of rice
00:09that is being sold under the Rice for All program
00:12will be 43 pesos per kilo.
00:15This includes the local and important well-milled rice.
00:20And not only that, because today, 20 additional wives' sites were opened.
00:25Under the leadership of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulo Nel Jr.,
00:29the President's wives' sites were opened in Barangay Hall of Barangay Daang Bakal in Mandaluyong City.
00:35It is expected that the number of wives' sites will increase
00:40in different parts of the country until 2028.
00:45We support the President's wives' sites,
00:47and we support our farmers, especially in high-value crops.
00:50Before the end of this year, there will be wives' sites.
00:54We are just finalizing the list of 169.
00:58But we will also put a big cold storage,
01:02like the one in Mindoro,
01:05and maybe another one in a car.
01:08There will be many small ones along the way.
01:11It's a whole system.
01:13We are not going to build a paddy field just to sell.
01:16The original preservation cold storage is included,
01:21so there will be a buffer stock.
01:23The system will be replaced with a food train.
01:30It will really go down.
