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.
