00:00House Speaker Martin Rumaldez is now pushing for the creation of a mega-task force

00:05that will chase traitors and those who manipulate the price of rice.

00:11For the other sectors, a resolution has been put on the camera.

00:16This is what Mela Las Moras has reported.

00:20In order to lower the price of rice in the market,

00:24House Speaker Martin Rumaldez has urged the government

00:27to create a mega-task force

00:29that will chase traitors and those who manipulate the price of rice.

00:34This was said by the House leader

00:36following the discovery by the House Accounting Committee

00:39that there is a rise in the price manipulation of rice

00:42even though there is an oversupply

00:44and the price of the rice being imported has been lowered.

00:47If Rumaldez agrees,

00:48the Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice,

00:52National Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Customs,

00:54Bureau of Internal Revenue, and Department of Trade and Industry

00:58will be the task force.

00:59We will lower the price of rice and basic food commodities.

01:04That is really our goal.

01:08This one, we're going to move forward.

01:10In fact, there will be hearings and briefings this week.

01:14This is supported by other lawmakers

01:16and even one of them.

01:19We need to consider that price manipulation

01:22is a heinous crime

01:24because we have a lot of countrymen,

01:28especially those who are poor,

01:30who are affected by the manipulation of some businessmen.

01:34This week, the KINTACOM hearing will continue.

01:38Meanwhile, in the absence of the House Squad Committee,

01:42its lead chair, Congressman Robert S. Barbers,

01:45who is now imprisoned in the House Detention Facility,

01:48Police Colonel Hector Grijaldo,

01:50was first contempted

01:51because of repeated violations of their proceedings.

01:54We ask the assistance of the Philippine National Police

01:57and our House Sergeant-at-Arms

02:00to implement the contempt order

02:02and arrest and detain Colonel Grijaldo

02:07since December 14, he's still here.

02:10Aside from the hearings,

02:12some congressmen also issued an important resolution.

02:17Like the House Committee on Senior Citizens chair, Rodolfo Ordonez,

02:20which calls for an investigation

02:22into their ride-hailing and food delivery apps

02:25that did not implement the correct discount

02:27for senior citizens and PWDs.

02:30According to the law, there is a 20% discount and VAT exempt.

02:34But they pass that to the drivers.

02:38These companies are doing the wrong thing.

02:43OneRider Partylist Representative Bonifacio Bocita

02:45is now assisting the drivers

02:48in his last resolution

02:50on the LTO's existing points system.

02:53They are causing demerits

02:56in every violation of the motorists.

02:58We were alarmed

03:00because there were truck drivers and bus drivers

03:04who lost their jobs

03:06because the LTO revoked their license.
