House leaders urge senators to pass changes to rice law

House leaders on Wednesday urged the Senate to help ease the burden on Filipinos grappling with high rice prices by passing the proposed amendments to the Rice Tariffication Law .

He underscored the crucial role of government regulation on maintaining stability in the rice market. “I totally understand where the senators are coming from given the recent reputation of certain NFA officials, but let’s not forget this is not an issue of corruption, but rather an issue of food security and price of rice,” Suarez pointed out.

“Palagi po nating naririnig ang mga kaibigan natin sa Senado na paulit-ulit, sinasabi po nila na ang mga problema ng ating bansang dapat bigyan ng solusyon ay ang patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin lalo na ng bigas ,” said Acidre, chairman of the House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs.
