00:00Continued implementation of the maximum suggested retail price for premium imported rice.

00:06The Department of Agriculture assured that the provinces will also be included in this.

00:11The details in the national news of Isaiah Mirafuentes of PTV Manila.

00:1750 kilos of rice is what the Meya's family needs to buy every month.

00:21There are four of them in their house who are sharing their food.

00:26And here in Tandangsora Market, she is buying rice.

00:29Actually, the price of rice now is a bit lower compared to last year.

00:34It's really high.

00:36If your salary is minimum wage like last year, you really won't be able to afford it.

00:42Now, it's a bit lower, no matter what.

00:44Today is the third day of the implementation of the maximum suggested retail price for premium imported rice.

00:50Since Monday, the Department of Agriculture implemented the 58 pesos maximum suggested retail price for rice.

00:57It means that 58 pesos should be the most expensive imported rice that is sold in the markets.

01:03It's a bit lower.

01:06Our imported rice is 3 pesos lower.

01:10Before, it was 58 pesos. Now, it's 55 pesos.

01:13This MSRP is currently being implemented in the entire Metro Manila.

01:18But the DA promised that it will also be implemented in the provinces.

01:22The DA said that they won't be too strict in implementing the maximum suggested retail price.

01:28But they will always monitor the prices of rice in the markets in Metro Manila.

01:34To be clear, this is only a suggested retail price and not a price ceiling for rice.

01:39The DA also assures that the supermarkets are following the prices of imported rice.

01:46It's really expensive, boss.

01:49How expensive?

01:50It's expensive. Rice is expensive now. I thought it would be lower, right?

01:53So, what we earn every day, if you include rice and vegetables, it's really not enough.

02:01It's just a bit. It needs to be lowered a bit so that our lives in the Philippines will be better, right?

02:09Specialty rice varieties such as malagkit, Japanese rice, and black rice are not included in the policy.

02:17MSRP also includes 10 pesos per kilo nominal profit margin in the landed cost of imported rice.

02:25Aside from this, President Quilloz continues to support some families in Metro Manila

02:31who are selling imported and local rice.
