THE Cebu Provincial Government will soon provide rice at an affordable price.It has allocated a budget of P100 million to purchase rice from the National Food Authority and sell it to impoverished individuals.However, those who qualify can only buy a maximum of five kilos each at P20 per kilo.“This will be extended to the lowest 10 percent — poorest of the poor. They will be given a chance to buy. This will not be given to them but for them to have a chance to buy rice at a low cost,” Gov.
However, they are still trying to find a supplier, she said.She said they plan to allow one family to buy a maximum of 10 kilos of commercial rice per week.On Wednesday, Oct. 25, Garcia will convene all the mayors in the province to finalize the list of beneficiaries and discuss the details of the program’s launch.She said the Capitol’s latest initiative aligns with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s campaign promise to lower the price of rice to P20 per kilo.
