00:00 This is not only from farmers, but also from those who are inside the PITAN
00:05 are the ones who are being sold in the new Pop-Up Kadiwa Store in Muntinlupa.
00:09 That's a big deal for those who will choose.
00:12 And we have live news from Cedric Castillo.
00:16 Cedric.
00:18 Yes, Rafi Coney, instead of massaging or riding a tricycle
00:26 and paying for the massage,
00:28 I heard that some residents here in Biazon Road,
00:32 in the middle of the barangay population in Muntinlupa City,
00:36 are just walking distance from the newest Kadiwa Pop-Up Store
00:40 that was opened this morning.
00:42 And like other Kadiwa Pop-Up Stores,
00:44 the sales are direct here in this place
00:47 through farmers and farm producers.
00:50 And this morning, the Bureau of Corrections and the Department of Agriculture
00:54 opened this Kadiwa Store, where, aside from the usual suppliers of agricultural produce,
01:00 like you mentioned, Rafi,
01:02 there is also a place here, the Bucor, where they sell some talbos,
01:06 cooking utensils, and even rabbits or rabbits
01:09 that are the product or the pet of the Bucor personnel and persons deprived of liberty
01:14 or the prisoners of New Belivid Prison.
01:16 According to Bucor Chief Retired General Gregorio Catapang,
01:19 in a short while, Bucor will be able to serve the food security of the country,
01:24 especially since 300 hectares of land is the area where various products can be grown.
01:30 The government spends more than P100,000 per year, per prison,
01:34 so it is important that the agency has its own income.
01:38 And the Bureau of Plant Industry, Director Glenn Panganiban,
01:42 is inviting the local producers to join the DA
01:45 so that their products can be sold here in the newest Kadiwa Pop-Up Store,
01:50 especially in this location near the Luzon Expressway or SLX
01:54 that connects to the NCR and Southern Tagalog.
01:59 Rafi Coney?
02:01 Drake, how long will this pop-up store last?
02:03 Because it looks like the people who are buying there are happy.
02:05 Mother is smiling behind you while she's buying.
02:09 This will start, Rafi.
02:14 They can buy this today, but to be honest, this is just symbolic.
02:20 This is just the opening day.
02:21 But this will be scheduled 9 to 5 every Saturday and Sunday.
02:26 So we can't say how long it will last.
02:29 I suppose it will last as long as there is demand and supply.
02:33 And like you said, the buyers here are saying that even if it's P10 or P15 per kilo of a particular vegetable,
02:40 the difference here is that it's cheaper compared to the market where you go.
02:45 Even if there is such a difference, it's a big thing for the buyers,
02:49 especially if they're paying P10 or P15 if they're going to the market.
02:56 And this weekend, the supplier of rice is expecting to sell this here in the Kadiwa pop-up store near Biazon Road.
03:06 Of course, this will be sold at the price cap that the government is implementing now, Rafi Coney.
03:11 That's my question.
03:12 Speaking of price cap, is there rice being sold there?
03:15 Earlier, some of the radio reporters were also going around and they couldn't find any rice in the Kadiwa.
03:23 Is there rice there? Maybe you have some.
03:25 There's none, Coney.
03:29 This is not the highlight.
03:30 Today, we haven't seen any rice being sold.
03:33 But the BIOCOR Chief Katapang and the Director-General of the DA are saying that
03:38 this Saturday, the supply of rice of various suppliers is expected to fall.
03:45 The people of Mami Mili appreciated this.
03:48 When we arrived earlier during the program, we heard the people of Mami Mili clapping and shouting,
03:53 "When will we have rice? When will we have rice?"
03:54 So they announced that this Saturday, they will be selling rice.
03:59 And of course, they were expecting that the price cap will be at the price that they're expecting.
04:04 Yes, of course.
04:05 Rice is life.
04:06 Rice is life. You can't deny that.
04:08 Thank you. Thank you.
04:10 Thank you very much, Cedric Castillo.
