00:00What is your budget for food at home?

00:02For people or for animals?

00:04For people first.

00:05Let's go with people first, Kuya Kev.

00:07You're bigger than my dog.

00:08Bigger than your dog.

00:09Bigger.

00:10For people, it depends.

00:11It depends.

00:12It's too small right now because it's just the two of us.

00:13No, it's just Emma.

00:14It's just the three of us.

00:15But Kuya Kev, because you're a health person,

00:19I'm sure when you eat, you make sure that it's a balanced diet.

00:23Of course.

00:24Right?

00:25It should be balanced and it should be nutritious.

00:27Nutritious.

00:28That's why we eat.

00:30We need to have nutrients.

00:32Because Kuya Kev, there's a lot of talk right now

00:34about the National Economic Development Authority,

00:37which says that 64 pesos per person per day

00:41is the threshold so that it's not considered food poor

00:44or that Filipinos lack in food.

00:47But according to the Think Tank Ibon Foundation,

00:5190 pesos and not 64 pesos per person per day

00:55is what's needed.

00:56It's already cheap.

00:57That's why the Bantay Bigas group is challenging the government

01:00to go to the market to buy and cook food

01:03at a price of 64 pesos.

01:05In the Senate hearing,

01:06MEDA admitted that the thresholds needed to be exceeded

01:09and the Philippine Statistics Authority, or PSA,

01:12admitted that 64 pesos of budget is not enough for a person to eat every day.

01:18They will change this and they want to point this out

01:21to the real situation of Filipinos.

01:28How much budget do you need every day to eat?

01:32That's the story of Jem and Sinas.

01:35Jem?

01:40Kuya Kev, is it possible to save the threshold of 64 pesos per day?

01:47According to MEDA,

01:48a budget of 64 pesos less is needed for Filipinos

01:52to be considered food poor,

01:54which some of our fellow Filipinos sympathized with.

01:58Ms. Rhea, a street sweeper, was invited to drink in Palamig this morning.

02:02Her budget is only 100 pesos for lunch and dinner.

02:06How much is the food?

02:08How much is the rice?

02:10How much is the rice and food right now?

02:12I can eat two, if it's just me.

02:15If Ms. Rhea still needs to save 100 pesos,

02:19how can it be worth 64 pesos?

02:21According to the National Economic Development Authority,

02:24it's worth 64 pesos per day.

02:26It's not considered food poor,

02:28or it's not enough for a person to eat every day,

02:30which some of our fellow Filipinos sympathized with.

02:32It's not enough for me.

02:34It's not enough for me.

02:35It's almost 100 pesos.

02:37You just have to save that for yourself.

02:40You know, every day,

02:42pan dessert, coffee,

02:44lunch,

02:45fish,

02:46it's expensive.

02:47According to the Yvonne Foundation,

02:4890 pesos is the cheapest amount

02:50for every Filipino

02:52to eat there every day.

02:54They should do an updated survey

02:57on how much food is available in the Philippines.

02:59But it's not about the food.

03:00It's about how much food, water,

03:02electricity,

03:03massages,

03:04and other daily necessities.

03:06That's why some youths are reviewing

03:08the NEDA database

03:09to say that a person is food poor.

03:11That's how the increase in purchases continues.

03:13It's time to revisit

03:15and pay attention to the food threshold.

03:17The basket has not been changed

03:20for some time.

03:22Although,

03:23the value of that basket

03:25has been adjusted for inflation.

03:27Maybe you should revisit that

03:28because preferences could have changed already.

03:31The relative prices have changed.

03:34The food threshold depends on the income

03:36of a family or person

03:37so that they won't starve.

03:38This is also the measurement

03:39if a family is experiencing starvation.

03:42The study of the Philippine Statistics Authority

03:45is based on the measurement

03:47of the value of a person's capacity

03:49so that they won't starve every day.

04:01The measurement of the food threshold

04:03is based on the sample food bundles

04:05that could provide nutritional needs.

04:07For example,

04:08the breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

04:10For P64,

04:12energy-sufficient diet is not enough.

04:15What you'll get here is

04:17an energy-sufficient diet

04:19with minimal nutrients.

04:21Mr. Kim?

04:24Okay.

04:25Thank you very much, JM.

04:27Wait, JM.

04:29Did you give a sample

04:30of what you could put

04:31in the P64 budget?

04:33The breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

04:35Yes, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

04:36Of course.

04:37That's what you'll eat for lunch, right?

04:39Yes.

04:40JM, is that a fishball?

04:42Maybe it's a fishball.

04:43P64 will fit.

04:45Mr. Kim, Susan...

04:48Mr. Kim, Susan,

04:49the DTI sample came out.

04:51For example,

04:52for breakfast,

04:53pandesal and coffee

04:55can be put here.

04:56For lunch and dinner,

04:58they gave rice and vegetables

05:03like mung beans with malunggay.

05:06But most of the people we talked to

05:09said that P64 is enough

05:12for them to save money.

05:15Just like Tony Dea,

05:17a student.

05:18For him, P64 is not enough.

05:22Why do you think P64 is not enough, Dea?

05:24The transportation to school

05:28is expensive.

05:29How can you go home?

05:31We don't know where to eat

05:35affordable food.

05:37Just like what I eat

05:40to save money.

05:42I eat what I can.

05:44Then,

05:46to save money,

05:49we can't just eat P64.

05:57But how much do you think the budget

06:00should be

06:02to be able to eat enough food in a day?

06:05In a day,

06:07I think P250 is enough.

06:10P250.

06:12That's the kind of food

06:13that has enough nutrition

06:15to meet your needs

06:16and strengthens your body, right?

06:18Yes.

06:19That's enough.

06:20Thank you very much, Dea.

06:21That's also the reaction

06:23of some of our guests

06:24that we interviewed earlier.

06:26Susan, Mr. Kim.

06:27Thank you very much, JM and Sinas.
