00:18 Prince Ocampo is a construction worker.
00:20 Because his income is not big, the price of rice is heavy for him.
00:25 That's why he only manages to earn 3 kilos per week.
00:29 I only work 2 times a day.
00:31 I eat in one day.
00:33 To save money.
00:35 Some people choose to eat like this.
00:38 We are 20 people.
00:41 We only buy broken rice.
00:48 Because it's expensive.
00:50 We only buy a kilo of rice now.
00:52 Before, we used to buy 10 kilos of rice.
00:56 But now, we only buy a kilo.
00:58 The rice sellers in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City
01:02 don't know what to do if the price suddenly rises.
01:07 It has a big effect because the new year has passed.
01:13 It's not that easy to buy.
01:15 Because now, it's a bit expensive.
01:17 If the price rises, we don't know if the rice sales will continue.
01:23 That's why I just bought products that I can sell.
01:30 The price of rice varies from 54 to 60 pesos per kilo.
01:34 It depends on the type.
01:35 Premium Grade Loka is the cheapest.
01:37 Jasmine and Coco Pandan are the most expensive.
01:40 Even in some provinces,
01:42 the rice sellers are suffering because of the high price of rice.
01:46 It hurts.
01:47 We are poor.
01:49 We only have 2 children.
01:51 We only have 2 children.
01:53 We are sellers.
01:54 We are poor.
01:56 We are poor.
01:58 We don't have money to buy food.
02:02 Even the rice sellers are suffering because of the low prices.
02:07 According to Grupong Sinag,
02:09 the farm gate price of rice has risen
02:12 due to the low production and high price of rice in the market.
02:16 But they are sure that the rice supply is enough.
02:20 Internationally, the price of rice is high.
02:24 Here in our local market,
02:26 we don't have much rice.
02:28 Our main crop is finished.
02:32 Now, we are only getting a little rice.
02:34 So, it's a no-no for our remaining stocks.
02:37 The Department of Agriculture said
02:40 that there is imported rice that has risen
02:42 and that it is expected to help lower the price of rice.
02:46 They are also studying the implementation of the suggested retail price or SRP
02:51 for rice so that it can still reach the buyers.
02:55 Of course, they will consult with the stakeholders.
02:58 We need to look at the composition of the producers group,
03:03 what rice produced until it became rice.
03:06 Then on the trader side,
03:08 what are their expenses in warehousing, milling, drying.
03:12 For retailers, what are their expenses.
03:17 We can compare and see the range of the price.
03:26 For Jimmy Integrated News, Katrina Son.
03:30 For Tutok Tlilip, 24 hours.
