President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said that his administration has yet to deliver on his P20 per kilo of rice election promise, but they are doing everything that they can to do so. READ:

“Added cost ay binabawsan natin nang husto ‘yan para sa ganyang paraan ay maipagbili natin ng presyo na mababa. Kaya’t sa labas nakita ko P70 na lang ang asukal. ‘Yun parin ang ating hangarin na P20 na bigas, wala pa tayo roon, pero ginagawa natin ang lahat,” said Marcos during his speech.

Marcos also said that the presence of Kadiwa stores does not mean enough production. He added that the Department of Agriculture still has to work hard, as the goal is also to be able to export products one day. “Sa amin, sa DA, we have to continue to work very hard. Gusto ko, hindi lamang maka-supply ng sapat na agricultural products na pagkain, kung hindi, makapag-export pa,” he said.

Marcos concurrently sits as the country’s DA chief, but his term had been marred by ski-high agricultural prices, much of which he had attributed to cartels and smuggling.
