In his speech, the President assured Filipino citizens that they would have access to affordable rice and sufficient supply to prevent hunger.
"Dapat pagandahin ang produksyon ng ating magsasaka, may sapat na pagkain, at kailangan may presyo na kayang bilhin ng taong bayan. Iyan ang tinitiyak natin," President Marcos Jr said.
(The production of our farmers must be improved, there must be enough food, and there must be a price that the people can afford. That is what we ensure.)
Indigent families in the region will benefit from the forfeited sacks of Alas Jasmine Fragrant Rice to address rising market prices. The distribution to the neighboring provinces will be done in the succeeding days.
