“The Marcos administration is getting closer to bringing down the price of rice to P20 per kilo now that the staple is sold at P25 per kilo.”
What Vera Files found
Based on the Department of Agriculture’s price watch, rice was sold at P38-50 per kilo in public markets in Metro Manila. The P25 per kilo rice is available only in Kadiwa ng Pasko caravan stores which operate in limited areas at designated dates and time in Metro Manila and in the provinces of Oriental Mindoro, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur and Davao de Oro.
