00:00Now, let's go back to our reporter Isaiah Merafuentes
00:04about some of the ventures that are paying the right price
00:07for the maximum SRP of imported rice.
00:10Isaiah?
00:16Rise and shine, Audrey!
00:17Good news, especially for our viewers,
00:20because 58 pesos of imported rice
00:23is what the DA promised as the most expensive price
00:26of imported rice for the families.
00:31Most of the families will earn 65 pesos,
00:35but starting today, January 20,
00:38the Department of Agriculture will really
00:40give the maximum suggested retail price
00:42for imported rice.
00:44The government is also ensuring that
00:46supermarkets are following the prices
00:48that are expected for imported rice.
00:51Aside from this, the previous 40 pesos of rice,
00:54now, 38 pesos of rice can be bought
00:56at the President's Kiosk.
00:59These are the RFA 25 or 25% broken rice.
01:04The President's Kiosk will also be able to buy
01:0640 pesos of rice or 5% broken rice.
01:09The so-called worthy rice is also available
01:12at the price of 36 pesos.
01:14And the aging but good quality rice stock
01:17of the NFA at 29 pesos.
01:19The DA hopes that the Kadiwa Stores
01:22will expand throughout Metro Manila.
01:24And the government believes that
01:26through this project,
01:28the price of rice will go down.
01:30Audrey, you know that the Department of Agriculture
01:32is also consulting the Metro Manila mayors
01:34to build the Kadiwa of the President's Kiosk
01:38in all public and private markets
01:41in the entire National Capital Region.
01:43And that's the update from the Department of Agriculture.
01:46Back to you, Audrey.
01:47Thank you very much, Isaiah Miro Fuentes.
