MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday said rice at P20 per kilo, which was one of his campaign promises, will soon become a reality.
He issued the remark during the launching of the “Kadiwa ng Pangulo” in Camarines Sur province, where rice being sold in the outlet is at P25 per kilogram. “Ang aking pangarap na sinabi na bago ako umupo na sana maipababa natin ang presyo ng bigas ng P20, hindi pa tayo umaabot doon, dahan-dahan palapit na. Nasa P25 na tayo, kaunti na lang maibababa natin yan,” Marcos said.“Kadiwa ng Pangulo” to further provide consumersTwenty sellers or partners joined the Kadiwa outlet in Camarines Sur.
Apart from helping Filipinos cope with the effects of high prices of goods, the project will also help local farmers, fishermen and small enterprises, which were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcos said. The Kadiwa program allows the public to buy goods at cheaper rates by creating a direct and efficient farm-to-consumer food supply chain, eliminating intermediaries.
