00:00More rice was brought to the public for all of the agriculture department.

00:06Because of the Rice for All program,

00:09the number of families in Metro Manila has increased.

00:13According to the DA, this will also reach other provinces.

00:17Civil Custodio in Centro, Balita.

00:22Ms. Josie is trying to fit the budget for her family's daily food.

00:28That's why she saved a lot of money for the Rice for All program.

00:33For example, if you buy 60 pesos, you'll get 40 pesos.

00:35That's a lot of money.

00:37It's just for the food.

00:40You can add more to the food.

00:42It's easier to go to the Rice for All program

00:46because it's available in some major markets in Metro Manila.

00:50That's why Fred was the first one in line

00:53after he heard that there's a Rice for All program in Guadalupe Public Market

00:57where he can go to the market.

00:59It's a bit cheap because I'm buying it for 47 pesos.

01:03It's 42 pesos.

01:05I can get a discount.

01:07It's better than the high price.

01:12For now, 45 pesos to 50 pesos per kilo is the regular price of well-milled rice in the market.

01:18Aside from the addition of the Rice for All program in the markets,

01:21the discrepancy was solved by lowering the price of imported rice

01:26and increasing the retail price.

01:28Since Executive Order No. 62 was implemented last July,

01:31where the price of rice was lowered from 35% to 15%,

01:36the Department of Agriculture is actively advising importers and retailers

01:41to reduce the price of rice.

01:43But due to the slow progress,

01:46the DA made an alternative solution by adding the Rice for All program in the markets

01:51to be a direct competitor to the retailers

01:53and to reduce the price of rice in the markets.

01:57The government is doing this because we are the ones who will directly put it in the markets.

02:02We are asking our retailers to make the price as low as possible.

02:09Aside from Guadalupe Public Market,

02:11there's also a Rice for All program in Camoning Market,

02:14Pasay City Public Market,

02:16New Las Piñas City Public Market,

02:18and Malabon Central Market.

02:20We have sites that are only open for one hour and we have no more allocation.

02:24Because our initial allocation, except for Camoning,

02:27was only 30 bags of 25 kilos delivered by FDI.

02:33But in Camoning, 100 bags were delivered.

02:36So earlier, the sales were also good there.

02:40It was successful, right?

02:41People want to buy cheaper rice.

02:45The pilot rollout in the five markets will last until Saturday.

02:48According to the DA,

02:49their target is to increase the number of Rice for All programs

02:53of the President's Executive Office in the markets

02:55even outside of Metro Manila.

02:57The DA is consulting with the DILG, DTI, DOLE, DSWD,

03:02and other branches of the Office of the President

03:04to support the Executive Office of the President's Executive Office.

03:07Aside from the public market,

03:0841 Executive Offices in the country have Rice for All programs.

03:12This is in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s vision for food security

03:17and to stabilize the price of rice in the country.
