00:00The amendment to the Rice Tarification Law, which aims to lower the price of rice,

00:06will strengthen tourism and improve mental health.

00:11This is supported by the three amendments signed today by President Bongbong Marcos.

00:17This is brought to you by Ivan Mayrina.

00:22The sale of 40 pesos per kilo of rice that can be bought in Cadiwa today

00:27The target is to lower the price to 2 pesos per kilo by the end of the year

00:30according to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel.

00:33Next year, our target is to break 40 pesos.

00:37Hopefully, by the end of January, we'll have 39, 38, something like that.

00:44Lowering the price of rice is the main aim of the amendment to the Rice Tarification Law

00:49passed by the President today.

00:51The main amendment here is the expansion of the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund, or RCEF,

00:56until 2031 and the addition of a fund of P10 billion per year to P30 billion per year.

01:03This will be obtained from the Nagokolektang Taripa in Inaangkatabigas.

01:07This will enable us to do much more for our farmers,

01:11ensuring that they have the resources that they need to succeed

01:15and to make the rice industry even more competitive.

01:19The law is also giving more power to the Department of Agriculture

01:23to monitor importers and traders.

01:25Warehouses will be more targeted

01:27and the actual data and inventory of rice will be more visible

01:30to ensure a sufficient supply of food.

01:32In the Philippines, Pagsolong is not only a market but also a shopping destination.

01:37It is also the place where the VAT Refund Program for Non-Resident Tourists is being implemented.

01:42Under this, tourists can claim a refund on value-added tax

01:46or foreign passport holders for purchases worth P3,000 or more.

01:51According to the Bureau of Internal Revenue,

01:53the collection of VAT from non-resident tourists will be reduced to P6 billion

01:59because of this new law.

02:01But the return will be greater

02:03due to the expected higher income and more jobs in the tourism industry.

02:08The economic impact of this measure is projected to be substantial,

02:13estimating an almost 30% increase in tourist spending.

02:17This will elevate the value proposition of Philippine tourism

02:22as we can now add a very attractive shopping component to tourism in the country.

02:28The Basic Education, Mental Health, and Well-Being Promotion Act,

02:31which was also passed today,

02:33aims to address the number of children suffering from depression.

02:37In 2023, 254 students were reported to have lost their lives due to depression

02:45and this number has increased to more than 1,500 this year

02:48according to the Department of Education.

02:51The major reason we see

02:55is the effect of social media or the use of gadgets

02:59that is not being managed well.

03:01And then add on to that,

03:05a significant factor is the dysfunctional family.

03:09Parents don't have any guidance.

03:12Under the new law,

03:14there will be care centers in schools

03:16with professional counseling and stress management workshops

03:19to take care of the mental health of students.
