00:00 The government officially declared that the El Nino project is now completed.

00:04 The project is being prepared by the government and the rice supply is now in full swing.

00:09 This is Bernadette Reyes.

00:11 The land is 163,000 hectares and the land is worth more than P10 billion.

00:20 According to the Department of Agriculture,

00:22 the El Nino land is officially completed after almost a year

00:29 and until the end of May, it will experience 40 degrees of dry spell and drought conditions.

00:36 But by the end of this month, it will drop to 6 degrees only.

00:40 Our temperatures and heat indexes will drop

00:44 so the discomfort will also decrease because there will be a lot of cloudiness,

00:48 even short duration rainfall and isolated rain showers.

00:53 By the end of August, the El Nino will expect to bring more than usual rainfall.

01:01 We expect that the probability of more rainfall will increase by October, November, December

01:08 where this is the peak of our drought.

01:11 The El Nino is more worried, particularly by the Department of Agriculture

01:16 because if heavy rains and floods hit our agricultural lands,

01:23 it will be difficult to recover the damaged roots of the flood.

01:29 We still need to adjust our water management interventions.

01:33 The main and lateral canals of our irrigation

01:37 need to be ensured that these systems are in place

01:41 so that when the flood hits, we can be sure that excess water will be released.

01:47 In this rainy season, the NFA still needs to buy 72,000 bags of rice.

01:53 The NFA's warehouse in San Ildefonso, Bulacan

01:56 is already filling up with rice that can be used during the drought.

02:00 The 136,000 metric tons of rice purchased by the NFA

02:04 is equivalent to the four-day needs of the entire country.

02:08 This is less than half of the target 495,000 metric tons of rice

02:13 that should be used for the next day.

02:15 But it should not be neglected, especially when it rains,

02:18 more than 60% of the rice is bought.

02:21 This is the time of the flood.

02:24 We are not being flooded by a typhoon that will flood the entire Philippines.

02:27 We are getting a good harvest.

02:29 The NFA is just a buffer for calamity.

02:33 The NFA's continued purchase is an opportunity for farmers to sell rice at a good price.

02:40 If it rises by even one peso,

02:44 if you compare it to the trader, it's a big deal

02:47 because it can be added to buy rice husks, buy rice husks,

02:52 buy chemicals that can be used in the field.

02:55 The only challenge if it rains is the lack of machines that will dry the rice.

03:00 My instruction to all the regional offices of the NFA,

03:04 look for drying facilities that we can contract

03:07 so that we can bring wet rice.

03:11 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Greta D'Andreas and you are watching Saksi.
