CLAIM: Bumaba sa P20 kada kilo ang presyo ng bigas sa ilalim ng administrasyong Marcos.
RATING: KULANG SA KONTEKSTO
Isang TikTok post na nagsasabing bumaba na sa P20 kada kilo ang presyo ng bigas sa ilalim ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ay hindi nagbigay ng sapat na konteksto ukol sa limitadong saklaw ng programang nag-aalok sa murang bigas.
Ang nasabing bigas na P20 kada kilo ay ibinebenta lamang sa pamamagitan ng marketing initiative ng Department of Agriculture na tinatawag na Kadiwa ng Pangulo (KNP), at makukuha ito sa piling KNP centers.
Ipinapakita sa post na bumaba umano ang presyo ng bigas sa panahon ni Marcos Jr. kumpara sa P70 kilo noonng termino ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Ngunit hindi ipinaliwanag sa video na ang murang bigas ay bahagi lamang ng programang “Benteng Bigas Meron na,” na inilunsad sa ilang piling KADIWA centers at orihinal na itinakdang hanggang Disyembre 2025 lamang.
Bagama’t layunin ng programa ang masigurado ang food accessibility at security, ito ay limitado lamang sa mga piling sektor gaya ng mga pamilyang mababa ang kita, senior citizens, solo parents, at mga persons with disabilities (PWDs).
Ayon sa datos ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) noong Mayo 29, ang average na presyo ng regular milled rice sa buong bansa ay nasa P43.32 kada kilo.
Sa kasalukuyan, ang TikTok post ay may 4,982, 239, at 10 shares. Kylyn Kyth Cuñado
