00:00 The new Agriculture Secretary will form an intel group as a battleground in smuggling.
00:07 The President promised 20 pesos per kilo of rice.
00:11 But it is impossible to reach that price until now, according to the secret.
00:16 Bernadette Reyes was on the scene.
00:18 Smuggling and ensuring that there is no corruption in the Department of Agriculture
00:26 is the goal of the new Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel Jr.
00:31 And to do that, there is a plan to form a secret.
00:35 I will be creating my own intelligence group, which they are here now, but you don't know them.
00:43 So we will be, well one of the directives also of the President is to, if there is a problem, pin it up.
00:51 The strengthening of production in all sectors of agriculture is one of the directives of President Bongbong Marcos
00:58 in the new secret of the Department of Agriculture.
01:01 Rice is one of the main products that the President also gave.
01:05 But even the new secret, the administration still does not dream of 20 pesos per kilo of rice,
01:14 especially since the price of rice is 15 years high in the world market.
01:19 Climate change and El Niño are also at risk of being affected by the production.
01:25 Today it's 700 dollars per ton.
01:28 So today that is not possible.
01:30 But with the directive of the President to modernize, irrigate, use the right seeds,
01:37 and mechanize and all of that, you know, there are a lot of things to do.
01:42 We are getting ready to do our best to try to make rice affordable.
01:50 The people can afford it.
01:55 But we're hoping to do that in the coming, maybe towards the end of next year.
02:02 In monitoring of the DA, the price of well-milled rice reached 53 pesos in some families in Metro Manila.
02:10 According to the DA, some can buy it for 45 pesos.
02:15 They also continue to monitor to make sure that the price is not rising.
02:20 The secret is also planning to return the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics
02:24 to have the right data to help in addressing the challenges in agriculture.
02:30 In the middle of this, the discussion and other groups protested in the DA's office as a result of the decision of Laurel
02:38 because of the business of his family.
02:41 There is a conflict of interest for his business.
02:47 He will only use his position in the Department of Agriculture to benefit his business.
02:58 I am now divesting.
03:00 I have no more interest in all the companies that I used to own.
03:04 DA is a full-time job.
03:07 I have no time to do anything else.
