00:00Moreover, Filipinos are getting closer to the cheap rice under the President's Diplomacy Program.
00:05This is after the opening of 20 new Diplomacy Stores in the country.
00:09That's what Benji Durango reported.
00:13The President's 20 new Diplomacy Stores were opened today in different places in the country.
00:18This was led by Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel
00:21in Barangay Hall of Barangay Daang Bakal, Mandaluyong City.
00:24We support the President's Diplomacy Program
00:26and the support of our farmers, especially in high-value crops.
00:30Before the end of this year, there will be more Diplomacy Stores.
00:33We're just finalizing the list of 169.
00:37Another good news,
00:38all Diplomacy Stores will be able to buy 43 pesos of rice for all.
00:43In the President's Diplomacy Program inside the Bureau of Animal Industry in Quezon City,
00:46even though they started selling 43 pesos of rice for all at 8 in the morning,
00:50the buyers were still able to buy soft rice,
00:53delicious to eat, and can be bought without limit.
00:56I think that rice is better and cheaper than what you can buy in the market.
01:03It's good for those like us who are poor.
01:06At least, we can afford to buy that kind of cheap rice.
01:10This was followed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s order
01:13to make it high-quality and the price of the primary purchase, especially rice, can be reached.
01:18We're also planning to put a big cold storage like the one in Mindoro.
01:24Then, maybe another one in a car.
01:28As many as possible along the way.
01:30It's a whole system.
01:32We're not going to build a paddy field just to sell rice.
01:35It's part of the original preservation cold storage so that there's a buffer stock.
01:42What's next is the tracking that will go here and return to the system.
01:48It's like a food train.
