00:00Stop putting a price on what you buy, Clayzell.
00:05Yes, Aljo, the price of rice is already going down according to some retailers.
00:10The Department of Agriculture said that the imported rice is already arriving here in our country
00:16at what is called a lower price under Executive Order No. 62
00:21which is already reaching 56,000 metric tons.
00:25But the price of eggs and vegetables has increased.
00:31The previous price of 120 pesos per tray of the smallest eggs is now 200 pesos.
00:40That's why the price of 4 pesos per egg is now 6 pesos.
00:46It's like the price of each delivery is increasing.
00:48In terms of supply, I think it's decreasing because it's just arriving little by little.
00:54Ms. Baby said that there's only one way.
00:57If we don't have enough budget, we'll save money.
01:02Before, if we have two trays, now we have one tray.
01:05It's enough for a week's budget.
01:09The price of some vegetables, like Tagalog vegetables from Calabar Zone and Central Zone,
01:16like eggplant, string beans, chayote, and carrots, has doubled.
01:20Why is that?
01:22Because it's flooding.
01:23The eggplant, the trees, if it floods, they will die.
01:29That's why the supply is just arriving little by little.
01:32Ms. Vini's budget is running out.
01:34She only bought chayote.
01:36What about the malunggay mixed with tinola?
01:40She said that she will discard it from her neighbor's house.
01:43For example, she will buy it, but she's just giving it away because of me.
01:47The good news is that the price of rice is decreasing.
01:50Before, it was P55 per kilo in Aldrian's place.
01:54Now, it's P52.
01:56It's decreasing.
01:58Before, it was P1,270.
02:03Now, it's P1,170.
02:06Most of it is decreasing.
02:08It's all imported.
02:09But it's hard for some to choose.
02:11I didn't feel that.
02:13We don't eat rice in the morning.
02:16Sometimes, we eat it in the evening.
02:20So that the price of rice won't be too high.
02:26Aldrio announced to the Department of Agriculture that starting tomorrow,
02:30August 1, 2024,
02:33the Department of Agriculture will start selling P45 worth of well-milled rice
02:40under the Rice for All program.
02:43You can buy P25 per kilo.
02:46That's the limit for the stores in FDI, Caloocan, Potrero, Malabon,
02:52and Bureau of Plant Industry in Manila.
02:55According to Agriculture ASEC Arnel De Mesa,
02:58it will give cheaper rice to the consumers.
03:02Based on the monitoring of the DA,
03:04the price of well-milled rice in the market varies from P45 to P55.
03:10So it's cheaper to sell it under the Rice for All program.
03:14According to the agency,
03:16the price of eggs and the number of warehouses affected by flooding is increasing.
03:23But the DA believes that the price of eggs and vegetables will normalize.
03:30That's all for the latest news in Quezon City.
03:32Back to you, Aldrio.
03:34Maisel, is P25 per kilo of rice still available for the vulnerable sectors?
03:43Yes, Aldrio.
03:44P29 per kilo of rice is still available in 17 well-milled rice stores in Metro Manila.
03:51The Department of Agriculture targets
03:53to increase the number of well-milled rice sites
03:56that can sell P29 per kilo of rice.
03:59P29 per kilo of rice is for single-parents,
04:02old people, and people with 4 Ps.
04:05While the Rice for All program,
04:07Aldrio, is for all of us.
04:09So we can buy it.
04:11And our countrymen with 4 Ps
04:16can also buy the Rice for All program
04:19because it's for everyone.
04:21P29 per kilo of rice.
04:23So you can buy a sack of rice.
04:25Rice for All program.
04:30Aldrio will limit it to P25 per kilo.
04:33So half a sack of rice per day is allowed.
04:36Tomorrow, you can come back and buy P25 per kilo.
04:40But of course, that won't be enough.
04:42You can only eat one barangay, Aldrio.
04:45Thank you very much, Maisel Pardili.
