BBM vows sufficient rice buffer stock


(UPDATE) PRESIDENT Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. assured the public that his administration will ensure adequate rice supply in the country.

Marcos made the statement after he met on Tuesday with his economic team and officials of the National Food Authority (NFA) "to plan the administration's steps on maintaining sufficient rice buffer stock in the country," according to Malacañang.

"We also met with the officials of the National Food Authority so that we can ensure that we have a sufficient supply of rice in the country," the President said in a post on his social media.

Marcos, who also heads the Department of Agriculture (DA) and chairs the NFA Council, earlier called for the operationalization of the "Masagana 150" and "Masagana 200" proposals of former secretary William Dar, citing the looming food crisis.

He also proposed a farm-to-market road masterplan that will ensure food security.

The President said his administration has increased the provision for buffer stock capacity from nine days to 15 days under the proposed P5.268-trillion national budget for 2023.

The government has allocated P12 billion for the NFA's Buffer Stocking Program to buy 631.579 million metric tons of palay from local farmers.

"There is also an allocation of P670 billion for the purchase of high-quality rice and corn seeds for seed buffer stocking under the DA," Marcos said in his budget message.

This will ensure enough supply of seeds to be used during calamities and emergencies that in turn affect rice and corn productions, he added.

During his campaign, he promised to bring down the price of rice to P20 a kilogram. He later said this was an aspiration.

In July, the President said his administration would rather increase the production of rice and corn rather than import even more, to stabilize the prices of food.

"Importation has been used as a price stabilization measure. I don't think that that is the primary reason for the importation that we'll do now," Marcos said. -excerpt

During the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing, Senator Risa Hontiveros asked Agriculture Undersecretary Leocadio Sebastian and former Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) Administrator Hermenegildo Serafica if Marcos and Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez supported the proposed importation.

The SRA is an attached unit of the Department of Agriculture (DA), which is headed by Marcos in a concurrent capacity.

According to Sebastian, “There were no objections to the importation program, Your Honor. I did not hear any objection or any reservation.”

“I did not hear any objection, Your Honor, at that point,” Serafica, for his part, said.


Sebastian even recalled that Marcos wanted the DA to reclassify sugar use from reserve to domestic use, and augment the local supply through importation.

He added that Marcos directed Serafica to craft a sugar importation program.

“If you are instructed to draft the sugar importation program, Your Honor, that means you’re already aware that there is an importation that has been planned or even the number that is supposed to be imported, they have already been informed about it,” Sebastian explained.

"to be asked to design a program" is one thing.
to make the program a functioning reality, is something entirely different.

Naglalandi lang sa kongreso.

Yung VP mo naman un-auditable budget inaautpag kesa problema ng katiwalian sa DepEd. Sabagay, pabuya at extra honorarium lang katapat nila.

Akala ko ba kaya tinanggal ang MAKABAYAN bloc at pinatay ang oposiyon para wala nang sagabal sa Congress? Mas matino pa ang mga OJT sa opisina eh.
