00:09A Herculean proposition many thought would never see the light of the day but somehow managed to pull through after three years and despite inflationary headwinds and a volatile global market.
00:21Our charms is Pina on Agui Chief Secretary Francisco Chulorell Jr. already looking forward to expand its coverage after its successful launching today in the Queen City of the South.
00:37Lani is just exhausting the supply of rice she bought last week because starting tomorrow the sale of BBM rice or Bente Bigas will also be implemented in Metro Manila.
00:46This is the P20 peso per kilo rice offered by the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. through the Kadiwa ng Pangulo stores, something Lani will surely line up for.
00:57Sa isang kilo po, bali nagbibili po kami minsan 60, tapos 20 po yung isang kilo po, bali 40 po yung matitipit po namin doon sa 20. Makagaan po yung saan. Gaya po namin na ano, gipit din minsan, ganun po.
01:13Today, alongside the Labor Day celebration, President Marcos once again assured that steps are being taken to help Filipinos.
01:20Batid namin ang pagsubok na inyong kinakaharap.
01:25Kaya gumagawa kami ng mga hakbang upang maibisan na ang pasanin ng ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa usaping pagkain.
01:33Nitong Marso, itinakda natin ang maximum suggested retail price or MSRP ng imported rice sa 45 piso kada kilo lamang.
01:45Sisimulan na rin po natin ang programa upang pababain ang presyo ng bigas sa 20 piso sa kada kilo.
01:54Sa class E, sa pinakamayihirap,

02:38Ah, yung sa CCT, Pantawid Pamilya, no?
02:42Ah, yun, malaking tulong yan.
02:44So, nakikita ng mga may hirap sa ating bansa na meron, merong ginagawa yung gobyerno.
02:52Okta Research believes Marcus' trust and approval ratings may rise even further in the coming months.
02:57More than 50%, close to 60%, po, ay urgent concern, po, yung presyo ng bilihin.
03:03Pangalawa, yung trabaho.
03:06Pangatlo, ito, malaking issue to sa mga kababayan natin, affordable food.
03:12Malaki dyan issue sa affordable food, yung presyo ng bigas.
03:16Makakatulong ba itong pagbaba, subsidiya sa bigas para sa mga may hirap, talagang makakatulong.
03:24Beyond implementing BBM Rice, the Marcus administration will expand the Walang Gutong Project in Visayas and Mindanao.
03:31It will also continue holding job fairs.
03:34Furthermore, government will continue to support farmers through the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund, or RCEF.
03:41And it will build child development centers to focus on youth education.
