00:00The Department of Agriculture will continue to work to ensure that buyers will be able to afford the prices of their goods.

00:07Meanwhile, the DA assured that the supply of food in the country is sufficient.

00:16The Department of Agriculture assured that the supply of food in the country is sufficient.

00:21This is the result of the Social Weather Station Survey

00:24where 27.2% of Filipinos experienced involuntary hunger in the past three months, explained the DA.

00:32I do not see that there is shortage of food.

00:36While definitely in some areas, you cannot discount that there is hunger because of...

00:41But I think that's more of an economic thing.

00:43It's not agriculture-related.

00:47Because we have almost most of everything, especially this March, April, May, June.

00:53It is also possible that one of the reasons for the SWS Survey result was the dry season last year.

00:59Well, if the study was made before, meaning last quarter of last year,

01:07of course, every year, last quarter, all prices are rising.

01:11But if the study is done today, we can see that the prices in the market are going down.

01:19In the Special Market Monitoring of the DA and the Department of Trade and Industry yesterday,

01:24it was found that the prices of basic necessities and prime commodities are going down,

01:28especially the 45 pesos of the maximum suggested retail price of 5% broken imported rice since yesterday,

01:36from the previous 49 pesos MSRP.

01:39Aside from this, the DA's programs continue to lower the prices in the market

01:44and ensure that there is enough and there is no wasted supply of food.

01:47This includes the Executive Program, the establishment of MSRP support,

01:52and the establishment of 99 cold storage facilities for vegetables, fruits, and high-value crops.

01:57While the Department of Social Welfare and Development's hunger-free program continues

02:02to provide benefits to more than 300,000 households or 1.5 million individuals

02:08through the distribution of 3,000 pesos food aid.

02:11These are all in line with the government's program to ensure food security.

02:17Vel Custodio, for Pambansang TV in the new Philippines.
