00:00Personally, the Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel Jr. is facing the hearing of the House Quinta Committee today.

00:07Here, he gave a speech on the price of rice and called for help from congressmen.

00:14Mela Lesmora is in the center of the news, live.

00:20At this point, the hearing of the House Quinta Committee continues.

00:25Earlier, there were new resolutions and resolutions that were brought here to the camera.

00:33In the continuation of the hearing of the House Quinta Committee or the Price of Rice Super Committee today,

00:38the Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel Jr. called for the return of the power of the National Food Authority to sell cheap rice to the market.

00:49After he passed the Rice Tarification Law, it was removed from the mandate of the NFA and the DA,

00:56the power to control and stabilize the price of rice.

01:00As of now, he also has various initiatives to address the problems with the price of rice to help our countrymen.

01:09I will agree with the figures that you are saying.

01:13I think that the price of rice should be from 42 to 49 max or 48-50.

01:20I agree with Mr. Chair that why is there a 50 and not a 60. That's not right.

01:27Unfortunately, we don't have the powers to catch anybody in the market because we don't have enforcement for that.

01:38Mr. Chair.

01:40Meanwhile, before this, the parents of the Philippine death row convicts in Indonesia, Mary Jane Veloso, came here to the camera.

01:48They joined the House Resolution No. 2128 of the Makabayan Bloc that calls on the government of the Philippines to make a clemency to Veloso when he returns to the country.

01:59Before Christmas, it is expected that Veloso's custody will be transferred to the Philippines.

02:05I am thankful for the support that you have given to my son.

02:13I am also asking the government to give a clemency to Mary Jane because she has been in prison for 15 years without any crime.

02:25She confessed that she has a husband and she was also imprisoned.

02:30I hope that they will give a clemency to Mary Jane.

02:34It's high time that they give a clemency to Mary Jane Veloso.

02:41You know that being poor is not a crime.

02:45Many of our OFWs go to other countries because of poverty.

02:53Mary Jane Veloso's case is a classic example of how our OFWs become vulnerable to various crimes.

03:07Aside from that, a while ago, the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability passed two new bills.

03:16Based on the information they gathered,

03:20regarding the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education,

03:26in particular, Aljo, they are asking for amendments to limit the use of confidential funds and intelligence funds in the country

03:36to avoid fraud and corruption, Aljo.

03:40Thank you very much, Mela Las Moras.
