00:00The launch of the RISE4ALL program in their families,

00:04we will know more with Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa,

00:08the spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture.

00:11Asek Arnel, good afternoon.

00:15Good afternoon to you, good afternoon to you too, good afternoon to everyone.

00:19Asek, what are the details of the RISE4ALL program

00:25in their families in Metro Manila?

00:28Where will it be rolled out?

00:32Yes, Nina.

00:34Earlier, we had a press briefing to launch our RISE4ALL.

00:41Now, we will sell it in the families,

00:45major public markets here in Metro Manila

00:48and here in some stations of LRT and MRT in particular,

00:53here in Monumento and North Avenue.

00:56We are selling it for Php 40 per kilo.

01:00It will start selling tomorrow.

01:04It will be available from Tuesday to Saturday.

01:08We are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

01:13Tomorrow, we will launch it in Guadalupe Public Market,

01:18Camoning, Malabon Central Market,

01:21New Las Pena City Public Market, and Pasay City Public Market.

01:25We are hoping that in the next few days,

01:28we will reopen the markets here in the National Capital Region

01:33and we will follow the provinces.

01:36So, there is no limit on what they can buy

01:40even though there are already pre-packed 5 to 10 kilos of well-milled rice,

01:45again, at Php 40 per kilo only.

01:49Alright, Asek Arnel,

01:50how is the Department of Agriculture ensuring

01:53that there is a sufficient supply of rice

01:55for the rollout of our program, Rice for All?

01:59That's right, Usec Edu.

02:01We have already informed the FDI

02:03that he is in charge of the logistics and distribution of our rice

02:10for the Rice for All program.

02:11They have checked that there is sufficient rice

02:15and because there is no limit on what they can buy,

02:18their trucks are always on standby

02:21so that when they see that they are running out of rice,

02:24they can add more rice to the market.

02:28Their supply is big and good for now.

02:33How can this program help in increasing the price of rice in the market?

02:40What steps is the DA taking to ensure that retailers will not abuse the price of rice?

02:49The main thing is that the price of rice is continuously falling in the international market.

02:56In EO62, the price of rice dropped from 35 percent to 15 percent.

03:01Based on the cooperation of traders and importers,

03:05we can see that the price should be around Php 40 to Php 42.

03:11This is one way to have a balance in the market.

03:16We are promising that this program will be sustainable.

03:21We have already added about Php 5 billion for the rollout of the project.

03:28It will be sustainable because the sales will be used for distribution and other purposes.

03:37Our government will not be affected.

03:41Okay. Thank you very much for your time.

03:44Assistant Secretary Arnel Demesa, the spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture.
