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.
A TikTok post claiming a drop in rice prices under President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. failed to provide context about the rice being sold at P20 per kilo, which is only available through the Department of Agriculture’s Kadiwa ng Pangulo (KNP) marketing initiative, and in selected KNP centers.
The price cap on rice could be lifted soon, a Department of Agriculture (DA) official said, as the harvest season in the country is underway.
Economist Solita “Winnie” Monsod gave a mark of 30 out of 100 to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. over his failure to address high prices of commodities, and lashed out at the appointment of disbarred lawyer Larry Gadon as anti-poverty czar.
