The MOD has been given five days to prepare the program and submit it to the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MOD head Robert Barquilla, in a message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, Dec. 17, welcomed the council\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Barquilla said several factors need to be considered, one of which is that the market office does not engage in buying rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NFA coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barquilla said lowering the price of rice could be possible if the City coordinates with the National Food Authority (NFA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Dec. 5, the Provincial Government announced a revision to its rice program. Qualified individuals can only purchase a maximum of 2.5 kilos of rice at P20 per kilo per week, a reduction from the previously allowed five kilos. This decision was made just a week after the Capitol launched the Sugbo Merkadong Program, which offers the discounted rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia decided to limit the sale due to uncertainties about the NFA\u2019s rice supply for the program. According to previous reports by SunStar Cebu, the NFA has a stockpile of only 3,000 sacks of 50 kilos of rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barquilla said the prices of rice at the Carbon Public Market, the largest public market in Cebu, range from P50 to P59 for special rice. Well-milled rice is priced at P49, while regular-milled rice costs P45.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFTER the Cebu Provincial Government launched its program to sell rice at P20 per kilo to indigent individuals, Cebu City now plans a similar initiative.
