THE National Food Authority (NFA) said that it is ready to release rice in case of emergency during the holidays.
"We have instructed our employees in the field to immediately activate our Operation Centers (OpCen) in the areas affected by floods, typhoons, and other emergencies and to open their hotlines to fast-track coordination with our relief institutions. It is the holiday season but our office is always open to respond to the needs of our countrymen. It is part of our service to be ready in times of need," NFA Administrator Larry Lacson said.
