00:10It came out in the hearing of the Quinta Committee.
00:13In the House of Representatives, the expected price of rice is 7 to 10 pesos less.
00:20According to the congressmen, the price of rice should be between 41 to 44 pesos per kilo.

00:29as of November 23, the price of rice is up to 63 pesos per kilo.
00:34According to the Bureau of Plant Industry, there are more rice importers but not all supplies are exported to the market.
00:42They are explaining to their fellow importers.

00:57Is it the importer or is it the consumer?
01:01Of course, it is the importers who benefit, sir.
