FARMERS organization Bantay Bigas said on Thursday that the government-run Kadiwa Centers were ineffective in bringing down the price of rice to P25 per kilo as promised by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

'There are thousands of Kadiwa centers... they are there but those are limited and are not significant in lowering the prices in the market. The rice being sold at P25 at those centers are limited,' Bantay Bigas spokesman and Amihan secretary general Cathy Estavillo told The Manila Times in Filipino.
