00:00The price of regular and well-milled rice in Metro Manila should not exceed Php 45 per kilo.
00:09This was agreed upon by the Agriculture Department and a number of families.
00:16When will this be fulfilled?
00:18This was pointed out by Bernadette Reyes.
00:20Php 40 to Php 54 is the price of a kilo of rice that is monitored by the Agriculture Department by the families in Metro Manila.
00:32It depends on whether it is cut or well-milled.
00:35But in this place, in Quezon City, Php 48 per kilo is the cheapest rice.
00:41The good news is that from Monday, you can buy that kind of rice for Php 43 per kilo.
00:48This is in accordance with the agreement of the Agriculture Department with the leaders of the market associations in Metro Manila
00:54that Php 3 to Php 5 per kilo should be the income of the rice.
01:00With this agreement earlier, we're hoping that it will be sustained,
01:04that it will not only be chosen, but it will be the standard of regular and well-milled rice.
01:10The price should not exceed Php 45 in the market.
01:16We still have a lot of rice there.
01:20How will you earn?
01:23We will just pick from others.
01:26As long as we have this port.
01:28Of course, we will also look at it, together with the meeting of course earlier,
01:32the enforcement and our implementation team, led by Asek Ethos.
01:37We will also look if there is a probability of profiteering.
01:44Other provinces are also following up,
01:47although it does not exclude the possibility that there may be a partial effect of the floods due to the price of rice.
01:54When it comes to the supply of pork,
01:56the Department of Agriculture assured that the supply of pork is enough for Christmas,
02:01although there may be a partial increase in the price.
02:05The supply of native pork is also enough for those preparing for Lechon.
