00:00NEDA said earlier that the daily food budget should be 64 pesos so that an individual is not considered food poor.
00:09At this time, how far will your 64 pesos reach?
00:14That's what we learned from Vona Kino.
00:20NEDA said that if your budget is 64 pesos for food every day, you are not considered food poor.
00:27The question is, is 64 pesos enough for three meals for one person every day?
00:34We went around Mega Q Mart in Quezon City to find out the price of the items in the sample menu released by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
00:42For breakfast, the price of scrambled eggs and coffee is about 20 pesos and 50 centavos.
00:49In the afternoon, the 64-peso budget is already used up because monggo with malunggay and dried dillis is about 82 pesos,
00:57together with a banana for breakfast.
01:00Fried tilapia and stir-fried vegetables for dinner is about 68 pesos.
01:06For snacks, the budget is 4 pesos to 22 pesos if you want a piece of pandesal and a small sweet potato.
01:14In total, all the items in the PSA budget are about 174 pesos and 50 centavos.
01:21The rice is not included, which is 52 pesos per kilo,
01:24and other items used in cooking, such as oil, fish sauce, and salt, are about 30 pesos.
01:31We asked the mothers-in-law if they can afford the 64 pesos for one person for three meals every day.
01:38That's just for breakfast when you cook.
01:42For snacks, that's just for lunch.
01:44The group of citizens also tried to buy what's on the PSA menu using the 64 pesos in the Commonwealth Market in Quezon City.
01:52They only bought monggo, salt, two pieces of banana, wooden sweet potato, and one-fourth kilo of rice.
01:59I challenge them, they want to buy.
02:02So that we can prove that they can afford the 64 pesos that they are saying.
02:09According to an economist, the survey on the value of Filipino food should be based on inflation.
02:18Let's look at the nutritional requirements.
02:21What is the substance of the food that can be bought for 64 pesos per day?
02:30It's more important that we can see, for example, how high the prices are in certain places.
02:37Because the inflation is different, the prices are different in each place.
02:41And the salaries of our workers in different places are also different.
02:48He also believes that 64 pesos per day is not enough.
02:53The call is to have the right and more meaningful survey on the needs of the people.
03:05Definitely, 64 pesos per day is not enough.
03:11NEDA is also reviewing the poverty threshold because it has been set for more than a decade.
