00:00 Even the inmates of New Believed Prison have a bag to buy cheaply from the Kadiwa Store.
00:07 Let's find out how in the story of Cedric Castillo.
00:10 Instead of going to the market to buy,
00:15 Ms. Ellie is looking for something to buy.
00:19 In this part of Biason Road in Muntinlupa City, the Kadiwa Pop-Up Store.
00:24 In the past, it was P100 for 1 kilo. Now it's P285.
00:29 It's a big deal especially when the price of vegetables and other things are increasing.
00:36 It's a minus. It's a reduction in our budget. We can buy from others.
00:44 Aside from the usual retailers in the market,
00:47 some people of the Bureau of Corrections are selling their products.
00:52 They sell vegetables, fish, and rabbits that are taken care of by PDLs in New Believed Prison.
01:00 According to Bureau Chief Gregorio Catapang,
01:03 this is part of the agency's Food Security Program of the country.
01:07 P120,000 per year per annum.
01:10 So, it's not the government's expense.
01:14 If they can produce that amount, they can also produce P120,000 worth of vegetables and food.
01:21 So, the government has a chance to make up for it.
01:24 If there are platforms where we can earn a low price,
01:28 we can alleviate the concerns of our fellowmen.
01:33 The Bucor has allocated hectares of vacant land for planting.
01:39 For GMA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo, for 24 Hours.
