Rice retailers must submit sworn statements to the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on their current rice inventories and their purchase costs to enable the government to address their concerns that they would lose if they would sell their stocks at the price ceiling.
I essentially agree with the President’s imposition of a price ceiling for regular milled rice at P41/kilo and well-milled rice at P45/kilo, but clarification should be made on the price cap of imported rice, unless it would fall under the subject rice varieties.
The shift to federalism shall remain a gratuitous soundbite so long as most local government units (LGUs) are destitute of fiscal autonomy.
