00:00Aside from the Guadalupe Market, the President's kiosk for cheap rice for everyone,
00:05the Kamuning Public Market has also opened today.
00:09Some people will choose the government's option for cheaper rice.
00:14Isaiah Mirafuentes is in the center of the news.
00:20Victoria went to the market early in the morning.
00:23She is one of the first to buy from the President's kiosk in Kamuning Public Market.
00:29Because of the low price, she bought 20 kilos of rice.
00:33She will feed it to her construction workers.
00:38Mano said it's good.
00:40Today, the President's kiosk opened the deal
00:43to sell 40 pesos per kilo of well-milled rice to some families in Metro Manila.
00:49It's 8 o'clock in the morning, the time when this new government program will open.
00:55It was opened to 5 families in Metro Manila.
00:58This is the Guadalupe Public Market, Kamuning Market, Malabon Central Market,
01:03New Las Piñas City Public Market, and Pasay City Public Market.
01:08In Kamuning Market, Father Javier was chosen as the D.I. of the retailer of cheap rice.
01:13The suppliers are very good. We will continue this.
01:17He admitted that his income here is low,
01:21but what's important to him is that he can help those who choose.
01:25You can still look at the kilos of rice you buy,
01:28and there's no limit to how much you can buy.
01:32We know what the effect will be.
01:36We saw that if one of them goes down,
01:43they usually go to the next one.
01:47He promised that it's not just for Metro Manila.
01:50Because it's possible that next year,
01:53they will also build the President's Kiosk in the provinces.
01:57We have two sources. We have local and imported.
02:01We won't let them go to the imported local.
02:06Meanwhile, the D.A. announced that the opening of the President's Kiosk
02:12in LRT Monumento and MRT North Avenue Station will not continue.
02:16They want it to be a smooth implementation.
02:20Especially if you put a rush hour or it's open to everybody.
02:26They don't want contingencies that are not yet in place.
02:29It's also possible that this will have an effect on the country's inflation rate.
02:35It will have an effect because it's evident here
02:39that people are starting to sell for P40.
02:43We have monitoring in other markets.
02:46Rice is the most important food for every Filipino.
02:50That's why the government is paying attention to it
02:53to reduce hunger in the town of Juana.
