00:00 Speaking of balance, how much is the Goto and Lugaw in your area?
00:04 The next news I will tell you is about a Goto in Monumento, Caloocan.
00:10 The price has increased.
00:12 From Php 40 before, each order of Goto is now Php 45.
00:17 The price of sticky rice that is the main source of Goto has increased.
00:22 On August 10, they said that each kilo is only Php 60.
00:30 Now, it's Php 65.
00:32 For the paroquians who are saving, they are left with Php 20 per order of Lugaw.
00:39 The other side dishes, the price of Goto did not increase, but the contents of each order were reduced.
00:46 That's the sacrifice.
00:48 But Php 5 more is a big thing for those who are massaging.
00:52 Yes, that's true.
00:54 They are massaging more.
00:54 If they save that for a week, it's a big thing.
00:56 Yes, but as I said, everything is increasing, we need to adjust.
01:01 We have to tighten our belts.
01:09 While for rice retailers who have not received assistance, they are still holding on because they are continuously distributing it.
01:16 The Commission on Elections allowed them to be exempt from the spending ban of assistance for rice retailers.
01:21 That's the Php 15,000 assistance of the Department of Social Welfare and Development
01:26 to rice retailers affected by the price cap on their rice.
01:30 On September 15, the government spending ban was started in connection with the upcoming barangay and SK elections.
01:37 The DSWD thanked the decision of the Comelec.
01:40 The government said that President Bongbong Marcos is hastening the distribution of assistance.
01:47 As of September 11, more than 500 rice retailers in Metro Manila and in Buanga del Sur
01:52 have received assistance from almost 6,000 retailers across the country on the DTI list.
02:00 Okay, so we have this.
02:02 We can just keep it on the list.
02:04 And it's true that it was sold.
02:06 Yes.
02:07 We might be blamed for not selling because it was sold at a higher price.
02:10 They won't know.
02:11 How will they monitor?
02:13 There are so many.
02:14 That's why there are 6,000 more.
02:15 Oh my.
