00:32Food security in the country will be strengthened
00:35after President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. inaugurated a flour mill in Sariaya, Quezon.
00:41The Universal Rubina Corporation's flour mill covers an area of 10 hectares.
00:46It is expected to process 1,320 tons of flour per day.
00:52Therefore, if the products from this flour mill are combined,
00:56and two more from Manila and Davao,
00:58the company will be able to produce 3,470 tons of flour per day,
01:03which is equivalent to 104,000 bags.
01:06According to the President, this will meet the country's large demand.
01:10At the same time, the economy will prosper,
01:12especially since it will create job opportunities in the region.
01:15In a time when every grain counts,
01:18this establishment will aid in ensuring that our people have the resources they need
01:23to nourish themselves and the future of our nation.
01:27With this new plan,
01:29the URC has positioned itself as a key player in our nation's food security,
01:34driving economic stability and innovation.
01:37The President appointed this facility
01:40as part of the government's goal for the strong and sustainable flour production in the country.
01:45He also recognized the role of the private sector
01:48as a pillar of the government in implementing its initiatives,
01:52especially in food security.
01:54And the government was assured that it will continue to support
01:57the local manufacturers and producers.
02:00This administration acknowledges the critical role you play
02:04in advancing our socio-economic growth,
02:07boosting farm productivity,
02:09supporting MSMEs,
02:11and ensuring the food security of our nation.
02:14We will continue to create a supportive environment
02:18for our partners in the private sector
02:21through laws and agreements that promote the interests
02:24of both manufacturers and consumers alike.
02:27According to the URC,
02:29this will only show their confidence in investing in the country
02:34because of the stable economic environment under the Marcos Jr. administration.
02:38This 5.4 billion peso investment
02:41is an affirmation of our confidence in our economy
02:45and the conducive investment climate created in our country by our dear President.
02:51It's also a concrete manifestation of our steadfast support
02:56to improving our nation's food securities,
02:59fully aligning to the priorities of His Excellency President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
