00:00Aldrean sells rice in the Commonwealth Market.

00:04From P55 for the first week of July,

00:08P52 to P53 for each kilo of well-milled rice.

00:14Many people buy from me because

00:16what they used to get is P1,3.

00:18P50, P1,4, now it's just P1,3.

00:20And the others, P1,2, P50.

00:22It's getting lower.

00:23Most of the prices are going down.

00:25It's all imported.

00:26More than 56,000 metric tons of imported rice

00:30has been imported to the Philippines

00:33and it's being sold at a lower price

00:36under Executive Order No. 62.

00:39But some people are reluctant to buy.

00:42I don't feel it.

00:43We don't eat rice in the morning anymore.

00:47Sometimes, just in the evening.

00:51So that it's not too expensive.

00:54Rice is expensive.

00:55The Department of Agriculture

00:57will start tomorrow the Rice for All Program

01:00or the sale of P45 per kilo of well-milled rice.

01:19Under the Rice for All Program,

01:21only single parents and four-peas can buy cheap rice.

01:25Under the Rice for All Program,

01:27everyone can buy rice.

01:29You don't need to show your ID.

01:31You can buy up to 25 kilos of rice

01:35in Kadiwa Stores in FEI,

01:37Caloocan, Malabon,

01:39and Bureau of Plant Industry in Manila.

01:42The objective of the Rice for All Program

01:45is to have available rice that is cheaper.

01:48This is one of the goals of our government

01:51to reduce the effect of food items on our inflation.

01:56So the prices will be lower.

01:58And of course, this will reduce the pressure on the family.

02:02The new schedule of Kadiwa Stores

02:05will start tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

02:09Tomorrow, the 17 Kadiwa Stores
