Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez on Sunday assured Filipino consumers that the surprise inspections at warehouses holding rice stocks last week
“I thank Customs Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio for his initiative of peering into these suspicious warehouses at a time when Filipinos are grappling with rising prices of rice. This will make hoarders think twice about their schemes,” he said.
On Aug. 24, a joint contingent from the House of Representatives and the Bureau of Customs swooped down at warehouses in Bulacan and found over 200,000 sacks of rice that were seemingly being purposely held. During the Bulacan inspections, Romualdez said the discovered supply of rice should be released to the local market in order to mitigate the rising prices of the staple grain.
