00:00Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr. leads the launch of the Kadiwa ng Pangulo Expo in Intramuros, Manila on Friday.
00:09The expo featured an expanded Kadiwa network, including food hubs, centers, shops, model trucks and carts,
00:15designed to strengthen the local supply chain and expand access to essential food products.
00:20This year, the Benteng Bigas Merona Rice Project is part of the government's Rice for All program.
00:25And throughout the three-day expo, the public will be able to buy cheap rice for up to 10 kilos per day.
00:30Secretary Chu Laurel says there are 450 sites nationwide and expected to increase.
00:36Our roadmap to a bigger and better and more Kadiwa aligned with the President's Food Security Agenda.
00:42Sa Intramuros, sa sentra ng ating kasaysayan, pinatutunayan natin ang kinabukasan ng agrikultura ay konkretong hakbang tungo sa masaganang bagong Pilipinas.
00:53The DA and the Department of Education also signed a Memorandum of Understanding,
00:57which affords DepEd teachers and non-teaching personnel to buy affordable rice at 20 pesos per kilo.
01:03Teacher Rowena is one of those who lined up to buy affordable rice at the Kadiwa ng Pangulo Expo.
01:08According to her, this will be a great help in their expenses.
01:12Kahit saan ka po magpupunta, hindi po tayo makakabili ng ganitong kamurang bigas.
01:20Kaya malaking tulong po ito, lalong-lalo na sa mahal ang mga bilihin ngayon.
01:26At parating ang Christmas, nagbabadget ang lahat ng mga tao. So malaking tulong.
01:31For Exhibitor Mylene, a member of a cooperative, their participation in Expos is also a big help to better market their products.
01:39Their products are available in more than 70 locations in different parts of the country.
01:43Para po sa aming mga mag-aalaga ng baboy magsasaka at sa lahat po ng mga miyembro,
01:48malaking tulong po ito para sa kanila na may nakakuha rin po silang baliktang kilig yearly.
01:54The second Kadiwa ng Pangulo Expo will be the largest rollout of the program in Metro Manila,
01:59where opportunities will be given to those in the vulnerable sector,
02:03including farmers, fishermen, farmer workers, transport groups, and low-income families to buy affordable rice.
02:10The set expo will end on November 30.
