00:24 Numbong Marcos when he visited the Candaba Pangpanga earlier.

00:27 The president also shared aid to farmers,

00:30 like benihi, discount vouchers for fattening, and farm vehicles.

00:34 He is now competing with the beginning of the harvest,

00:37 which he expects to see an increase in agriculture in the following months.

00:41 But how can we now have a strong El Niño?

00:44 We are not afraid.

00:46 On the contrary, we are strong from the inside.

00:48 Together, we will face El Niño.

00:52 Our help to boost the sector of agriculture

00:57 is one of the main steps towards the creation of a new Philippines

01:03 where no one is hungry.

01:05 But the farmer, Mang Pablo, is worried.

01:09 Instead of two, he might only be able to plant one this year

01:12 because the water in his rice field is running out.

01:15 I will plant this in the next 10 days.

01:18 So you will plant next?

01:20 No, I will not plant anymore.

01:22 You will not have water?

01:23 Yes, I will just bring water.

01:26 There is irrigation, but it is still barado.

01:28 Because?

01:29 Because it will not be brought for a long time.

01:31 The soil here is starting to dry up because it is running out of water.

01:36 So after this harvest, they will not plant rice here.

01:40 Instead, they will plant watermelon here so that it will not be too dry in the water.

01:44 One of the solutions that the president has thought of

01:47 is to distribute water to the country through a solar-powered irrigation system.

01:52 We will put solar power and that will be used for the pumps.

01:59 Each unit can supply water to 20 hectares.

02:06 We are planning to put 1,000 hectares.

02:09 We are already thinking about the budget and where to get it.

02:14 There is no timeline that the president mentioned.

02:17 But if that happens, the country's rice will add more than 1 million tons.

02:22 Because from two, it is possible that the crop or rice harvest will be three times in a year.

02:28 The president also said earlier that in 2023,

02:31 the rice will reach 20 million metric tons.

02:35 More than one and a half percent or 300,000 tons in 2022.

02:41 But in Bicol, the good effect of this is not felt by some farmers.

02:45 Because the best type of rice in the public market there is already reaching P67 per kilo.

02:52 P54 to P55 per kilo is the cheapest.

02:56 While in Dagupan City, the price of rice per kilo dropped from P1 to P2.

03:02 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for Tutok, 24 hours.
