00:00Q. Is the PKI Peso true?
00:03A. Yes. We will be talking to the supermarkets and convenience stores that sell rice until next week with the Secretary of the DPI.
00:13We will tell them that we need their full cooperation to make it available for imported rice only.
00:21I think everybody wants to help the consumers without affecting the farmers. I'm confident that it will happen.
00:36You know the supermarkets like the one we visited with Secretary Ron Quintero. I was watching her monitor all the prices here.
00:47Based on what the manufacturers are saying, they are following it. If they won't follow it, if there's a situation where the DPI and DA will be forced to really control the sanctions, we will have to set price ceilings.
01:09We cannot set it. We will recommend to the President price ceilings. The President will declare the price ceilings.
01:18The basic necessity, if the price ceilings are not followed, it is a violation of the law.
