00:00On top of the news, the cynics and the naysayers said it could never be done.

00:05A sour-craping vice president even mocked the DA chief's announcement last week

00:09and said the grains under the program are intended for swine feed, not human consumption.

00:16Now, the president's campaign promise of 20 pesos a kilo of rice is set to make its debut in the Queen City of the South on Labor Day

00:25as our clay sale partilia narrates the full story.

00:30Marceau carefully measures the rice he is cooking to avoid any waste.

00:36He chooses rice that costs between 40 to 50 pesos per kilo, an affordable option,

00:42with the price of rice way above cost, and the high tuition fees of his two children, saving every peso counts.

00:50It's expensive because it's expensive for you to buy. At least you can save it.

00:57Good news from the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr.

01:02Starting May 1, Labor Day, the government will launch the sale of BBM Rice or Bente Bigas Mo,

01:10offering rice at just 20 pesos per kilo.

01:13The program will initially roll out in Cebu province.

01:16Sales of affordable rice will also begin across Kadiwa ng Pangulo's Centers on May 2, Friday.

01:24This initiative fulfills President Marcos' junior promise to make rice more accessible to Filipinos.

01:31It is also part of the administration's broader efforts to combat poverty and hunger.

01:37Mahalaga po ang kapakanan ng taong bayan kay Pangulong Marcos.

01:43Papalawigin pa po ang mga programa para matugunan po ang mga isyo patungkol po sa kahirapan at kagutuman.

01:51Yan po ang talagang ninanais at pinapalawig pa po ang programa para ito po ay matugunan.

01:58Kabilang na po ang 20 pesos kada kilo na bigas, nandiyan pa rin po ang programang walang gutong program ng DSWD.

02:07Idagdag pa po natin ang patuloy patungkol dito sa Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

02:11According to the Department of Agriculture, those in the vulnerable sectors, including solo parents, persons with disabilities,

02:21the poor, and senior citizens like Clarita, can purchase dente bigas mo at Kiriwa centers.

02:29Consumers will be allowed to buy up to 30 kilos of rice per month, equivalent to 600 pesos.

02:36This is cheaper compared to the market price of over 1,000 pesos for half a sack of well-mealed rice.

02:44Mas gusto ko yun. Mas makakatipid lalo ako dun.

02:46Eh ngayon, yung limang kilo kong bigas, baka abuti ng tatlong buwan, dalawang buwan pa yun.

02:52Kasi bayti pesos lang yun eh.

02:54Malacanang clarified the affordable rice will come directly from farmers' harvests.

03:00The Agriculture Department earlier assured the rice is of good quality and classified as well-mealed rice,

03:07typically sold at 38 to 54 pesos per kilo in markets.

03:11The Palace guaranteed that the program will be sustainable until the end of 2025,

03:17and the government will set aside a budget for next year.

03:21In connection with this, the Palace also highlighted the strengthening of the National Food Authority's rice buffer stock.

03:29This follows President Marcos' directive to intensify the procurement of farmers' harvest this season.

03:37The NFA reports that it has purchased around 10 million sacks of palay.

03:43Its rice inventory has reached 8 million sacks, the highest since 2020,

03:49enough to feed the entire Filipino population for 10 days.

03:53Ayon kay NFA Administrator Larry Laxon, may natitirang 12 bilyong piso para sa patuloy na pagbili ng palay ngayong summer harvest.

04:04Dagdag pa ng NFA, ang tuloy-tuloy na pagbili ng palay ay hindi lamang para sa mga magsasaka,

04:10kundi para rin sa mga pagbibigay ng mas abot kayang bigas sa mamamayan.
