President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. on Friday said the country’s rice supply was the “most critical problem” as his administration continues to try to bring down prices.
The President earlier said high farmgate prices and some imported farm inputs contributed to the price increase. Meanwhile, Senator Risa Hontiveros has deplored “inept leadership” at the Department of Agriculture and the National Food Authority as the cause of soaring rice prices. “There may or may not be hoarders and price manipulators; let’s wait for the results of the investigations that the President ordered,” she said.
