00:00 President Bongbong Marcos has now removed the price cap imposed on regular milled and well-milled rice.
00:07 He also removed the company responsible for rice smuggling.
00:11 Witnesses are Cedric Castillo and Ian Cruz.
00:14 In the division of the smuggled rice in the 1,004 piece beneficiary in Taguig,
00:23 President Bongbong Marcos has removed the claims against the importation of rice to the country.
00:29 San Pedro Warehouse, Blue Sakura Agri-Grain Corporation, FS Ostia Rice Mill, Gold Rush Rice Mill
00:38 are currently facing a series of cases because of their actions.
00:45 They are also with the rice warehouses that were raided this August
00:49 and will face the complaints of violation of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act,
00:54 Rice Tarification Law and Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act of 2016.
00:59 You smugglers, you hoarders and syndicates, stop your evil deeds.
01:05 We called but San Pedro Warehouse, which also owns Blue Sakura Agri-Grain Corporation, did not answer.
01:13 We talked to FS Ostia Rice Mill but there was no clear statement
01:18 while they did not want to give a statement of Gold Rush Rice Mill to our contact.
01:23 The President also removed the price cap on rice because the price is already falling
01:28 and the supply will be enough this August.
01:31 The camera will also help to bring the rice to the people in need.
01:37 If supply is the basis, the Department of Agriculture is confident that there is no reason to increase the price of rice.
01:46 But there is still a demand, especially now that Christmas is coming.
01:51 We are going to the holiday season.
01:54 We always expect that the price will increase.
01:58 Our local production is high for October and same rate for November and for the rest of the year.
02:09 We can complement that again with imports.
02:11 This is now seen by a group of farmers.
02:15 The decision to revert the price cap on rice is also the same.
02:19 The cap really helped because we saw in the world market that the price of rice is falling.
02:29 The harvest of the Philippines is also increasing and they know that their rice is in demand.
02:39 For GMA Integrated News, I am Cedric Castillo and Ian Cruz, your witness.
02:45 Kapusos, let's be witnesses.
