00:00The Department of Agriculture has already started selling 40 pesos per kilo of well-milled rice
00:06to several LRT and MRT stations.
00:09This is under the Rice for All-A Program,
00:12where President Quilloz has authority in four stations
00:16and it will be sold from Tuesday to Saturday,
00:19from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., or until there is a supply.
00:25According to Agriculture Spokesperson, Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa,
00:29their target is to increase the number of stations where KNP-Quilloz will be placed.
00:34It should be noted that the program was first announced in several markets in Metro Manila
00:39so that more Filipinos will be able to get cheaper rice.
00:44We are continuously consulting the DOTR
00:47to increase the number of stations that also sell rice for all.
00:54We are running out of stock.
00:57Our STI, our partner in Logistics and Distribution, is making adjustments
