MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday reminded the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) to follow through on his administration's promise to ensure Filipinos have access to affordable rice.
In a statement posted on his official social media accounts, the chief executive tasked these agencies to expand the P29 Rice-for-All program and put up more Kadiwa ng Pangulo centers "from 21 to 300 by mid-2025" to bring affordable rice within reach for more communities across the country.
