00:00 The Department of Social Welfare and Development is starting to provide assistance to those affected by rice ceiling.
00:07 That is the first news. Live from Niko Wahe.
00:10 Niko.
00:11 Good morning. From today until September 29, the DSWD will distribute assistance to those affected by rice price cap.
00:25 In the past, it was the rice retailers that were big. Now, it will be divided among the sari-sari store owners.
00:32 Before the price of rice went up, the sari-sari store owner, Alice, was just waiting to get ahead in selling rice.
00:42 Back then, she said it was hard for her to sell all her rice.
00:45 Now, the price is higher.
00:47 She earned a small amount of money, but she was forced to lower the price because of the price cap.
00:52 The rice is too expensive. We are having a hard time in earning a living.
00:58 It's really hard now. It's hard.
01:03 Ibrahim also felt the price of rice going up even when the price went down.
01:08 He can't even finish one basket in a day.
01:11 So, to finish...
01:13 We just cook it. We make the batter.
01:16 So, it's easier to sell?
01:19 It's easier.
01:21 That's why it's a big help to give 5,000 pesos of aid to the government
01:25 for the sari-sari store owners like them who were affected by the price cap on rice.
01:30 It's a big help to us who are poor.
01:36 You will buy rice?
01:38 That's what will happen.
01:39 We just cook it first.
01:42 DSWD said that they will contact DTI to identify who will be the beneficiaries.
01:49 Until September 29, the government will distribute aid to the sari-sari store owners affected by the price cap on rice.
01:56 Since the government gave aid, more than 92.4 million DSWDs were distributed to the affected by the price cap.
02:11 6,161 from the target of 8,390 micro and small rice retailers were given.
02:19 If the price cap will be lifted, that's what the DA is monitoring.
02:25 Especially now that the harvest season has started in Palay.
02:29 Live from Manila, I'm Nico Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
02:35 Igan, you are the first in the news.
