President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., accompanied by Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel and National Food Authority Administrator Larry del Rosario Lacson, talks to farmers during his inspection of an NFA warehouse in San Ildefonso, Bulacan on May 28, 2025. Marcos, following his participation in the 46th Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, vowed the government would continue to buy rice from farmers at competitive prices, as well as also sourcing the food staple from other countries, to sustain his administration’s initiative of selling rice at P20/kilo to disadvantaged sectors until the end of his term.
