The House of Representatives and the Department of Social Welfare and Development will distribute rice and financial aid to at least 2.5 million Filipinos within the next two weeks under the Malaya Rice Project, Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez announced late Thursday.
“Each beneficiary would receive P1,000 and 15 kilos of rice worth P500 to P600, with the process taking less than a month,” he said.Pursuant to the President’s instruction, the House leader said the handing out of rice would begin in Metro Manila in partnership with the region’s 33 lawmakers, and DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian.
“And we would like to have this done and replicated in other urban areas. And this will hopefully help alleviate the burden on the people, especially in the non-rice-producing areas. And we would like to use this similar mechanism to buy the palay from the rice growers. And this is to afford better prices not just for the consumers but also for the growers and the farmers themselves. So we will start this program this October within, I think, the next two weeks,” he added.
