00:00In monitoring of the Department of Agriculture and Department of Children's Industry, some rice retailers are still selling imported rice
00:11at more than the maximum suggested retail price that was started yesterday.
00:16Retailers explained that these are the first stocks that they bought at a higher price but they are running out so they will lower the price.
00:25Aside from the labor market, the Department of Agriculture also monitored MSRP in Pasay Public Market and Guadalupe Market.
00:34According to Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa, the spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture,
00:38they will give a chance to the retailers to negotiate their contracts to lower the price.
00:45Meanwhile, the price of pork is still high, reaching P450 per kilo of pork.
00:52According to the DA, they will continue their repopulation efforts by the government to lower the price of pork.
00:59Connie, this week, the Department of Agriculture will visit again to monitor the compliance MSRP of the retailers.
01:08Yes, Bernadette, these are the ones who are saying that because there is a suggested retail price of P58 per kilo of rice,
01:21what will be the punishment for them?
01:24Because of course, we don't want them to be imitated.
01:31Connie, for now, the Department of Agriculture is still lenient and they will not be given a notice of violation
01:39because they understand that there are other retailers who are still selling stocks that they bought at a higher price.
01:47But the moment they issue guidelines and it is stated when they will comply,
01:54the Department of Agriculture will be strict on the implementation of MSRP, Connie.
01:58Bernadette, when will it be implemented?
02:05For now, Connie, the Department of Agriculture has not yet given a definite date,
02:09but they are looking at it, maybe in two weeks' time, so in February,
02:14they will see if they can issue guidelines to be a guide to the retailers, Connie.
02:19And let us just remind you that, Bernadette, the P58 is the SRP for imported rice only.
02:26But we can buy lower-priced local rice.
02:30Yes, you're right.
02:33Yes, Bernadette.
02:34Yes, you're right, Connie.
02:35The P58 is for imported rice only, but there are other options for you to buy.
02:42Aside from the available local, well-milled, and regular rice,
02:46they can also buy other types of rice from other families.
02:50Thank you very much, Bernadette Reyes.
