00:09Civil Custodians of PTV Manila in Balitang Pabansa.

00:15The Department of Agriculture assured that the food supply in the country is sufficient.

00:20This was followed by the Social Weather Station Survey

00:23where 27.2% of Filipinos experienced involuntary hunger in the past three months, explained the DNDA.

00:31I do not see that there is a shortage of food.

00:35While definitely in some areas, you cannot discount that there is hunger because of...

00:40But I think that's more of economics, it's not agriculture-related.

00:46Because we have almost most of everything, especially this March, April, May, June.

00:52It is also possible that one of the reasons for the SWS Survey result was the dry season last year.

00:59Well, if the study was made before, meaning last quarter of last year,

01:06of course, every year, last quarter, all prices are rising.

01:10But if the study is done today, we can see that the prices in the market are going down.

01:19In the Special Market Monitoring of the DA and the Department of Trade and Industry yesterday,

01:23it was found that the prices of basic necessities and prime commodities are going down,

01:28especially when it is lowered to P45, the maximum suggested retail price of 5% broken imported rice since yesterday,

01:35from the previous P49 MSRP.

01:38Aside from this, the DA's programs are also followed to lower the prices in the market

01:43and ensure that there is a sufficient and non-wasteful food supply.

01:46This includes the President's Program, the establishment of MSRP support,

01:51and the establishment of 99 cold storage facilities for vegetables, fruits, and high-value crops.

01:57While the Department of Social Welfare and Development's Hunger-Free Program continues

02:01to provide benefits to the 300,000 households or 1.5 million individuals

02:07through the distribution of P3,000 food aid.

02:11These are followed by the government's program to ensure food security.

02:16From People's Television Network, Vel Custodio, Balitang Pambansa.
