A Cagayan de Oro councilor calls for an 'enhanced' executive order to include more rice industry players in the aid program, and give the NFA regulatory powers
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – More than 250 retailers impacted by the government’s ceiling on rice prices received P15,000 each in cash from the Department of Trade and Industry and Department of Social Welfare and Development in Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga del Norte.
Marcos Jr., who serves as the head of the Department of Agriculture , issued Executive Order No. 39 on August 31, setting price limits at P41 per kilo for regular milled rice and P45 per kilo for well-milled rice. The DTI said 86 beneficiaries from Zamboanga del Sur were given cash assistance through the DSWD earlier.
The recipients also included retailers listed by the DTI as sole proprietors or registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as partnerships or corporations engaged in the sale of regular milled and well-milled rice.
