ng kanilang voucher, kasama na ito, dun sa kanilang kukunin.
00:04.4
Follow-up lang, ma'am, isa pa.
00:06.4
May napipisil na po ba kayo na maging kalihim ng Department of Agriculture?
00:10.4
Yun na lang po yung natitiran bakante na wala tayong leader.
00:15.0
Marami. Tinatanong ko sa kanila lahat.
00:17.5
Inaantay ko mag-volunteer silang mag-secretary. Ayaw akong palisin eh.
00:21.2
So hanggat matapos, well, we have...
00:24.6
you know, the truth of the matter is that we have really
00:28.0
managed to make some very important structural changes in the Department of Agriculture.
00:35.6
So iniisa-isa natin yan.
00:37.6
The problem had been, was during the beginning of this year,
00:41.6
ay naging crisis lahat ng food supply, food prices,
00:46.6
lahat fertilizer prices, etc.
00:49.6
Kaya napakalaking bagay nitong donation na binigay sa atin ng China.
00:55.4
At yun, we were just trying to put up emergency measures
01:00.4
para naman mabigyan natin ng konting tulong at suporta ang ating mga magsasaka.
01:07.4
Ngayon, more or less, the prices of the agricultural commodities
01:14.4
are beginning, they are not yet stabilized, are beginning to stabilize.
01:18.4
Now we are going to make the structural changes that are important
01:22.4
to increase production, number one,
01:25.4
to ensure the food supply of the Philippines, not only rice, but also corn, also fisheries, also livestock.
01:33.4
So yan ang ating mga ginagawa ngayon
01:36.4
para naman hindi na tayo umabot sa crisis na sitwasyon
01:40.4
kagaya ng dadatlan natin after the pandemic.
01:43.4
Kaya ang aking hangarin para sa DA
01:48.4
ay pag iniwanan ko ang DA,
01:51.4
by that time, we will have systems in place
01:55.4
so that we can guarantee the food supply of the Philippines, number one,
02:01.4
we can guarantee that the prices are affordable,
02:04.4
and number three, that our farmers make a good living.
02:09.4
So hanggat matapos natin yun,
02:11.4
I suppose you will just have to put up with me as DA Secretary.
02:20.4
Leth Narciso, DCRH.
02:22.4
Good morning, Mr. President.
02:24.4
Sir, may we get an update on the review of rice tarification law?
02:28.4
Ang inaalala po kasi ng ating mga magsasaka,
02:30.4
kahit lumakas ang ating production,
02:32.4
kailangan pa rin nilang makipagkumpetensya sa imported na bigas.
02:36.4
Well, that has always been the case,
02:39.4
but that has been kaya kailangan natin mag-import ng bigas
02:43.4
dahil ang production cost nga natin ay mataas.
02:46.4
Kaya ang presyo ng bigas dito sa Pilipinas ay ginagawa natin,
02:50.4
pagka nagkukulang, nag-import tayo.
02:54.4
Kaya we always have compete.
02:57.4
Hindi natin may iwasan mag-compete.
03:00.4
Naggumawa tayo, we just approved and rolled out the export,
03:08.4
the plan for the export industries in the Philippines yesterday.
03:13.4
And that is something that we really have to be able to take advantage of.
03:20.4
Kasi sinasabi natin may RCEP.
03:22.4
Sinasabi natin may ASEAN.
03:24.4
Meron tayo mga free trade agreements.
03:27.4
Okay, maganda yan. Nabuksan ang merkado.
03:29.4
Both for our markets, both for our products, tool markets,
03:33.4
but also as supply for our importation.
03:37.4
So mabababa ang tariff ng iba't ibang produkto pag nag-import.
03:44.4
Ngunit mababawi naman natin yan sa export.
03:48.4
So we have to learn to compete.
03:50.4
Kaya bukas ang merkado na yan, hindi lang ibig sabihin dahil nabuksan na yan,
03:55.4
lahat ng export natin kukunin.
03:57.4
We have to continue to compete.
03:59.4
Pero wala tayo, hindi natin may iwasan yan.
04:01.4
Ganyan ang mundo ngayon.
04:03.4
We are a global economy.
04:05.4
And we have to compete in the global economy.
04:07.4
And that is why our agriculture has to be brought to a level where we can say it is world-class
04:14.4
and can compete with all the agricultural producers around the world,
04:20.4
especially in our region.
04:22.4
Thank you, Mr. President.
04:24.4
Ms. Wang Shengsheng of CCTV.
04:27.4
Good morning, Mr. President.
04:29.4
I would like to know from you,
04:31.4
so what's your expectation about the agriculture cooperation between China and the Philippines?
04:38.4
It's very, very promising.
04:40.4
As I mentioned in my remarks during the program,
04:44.4
it turns out that the priority that we put here in the Philippines on agriculture,
04:50.4
the Chinese government, as it was explained to me by President Xi when I went to visit him last January,
04:57.4
was the same, that their outlook, that their priorities are the same,
05:04.4
that there is food supply, that there is affordable food supply,
05:08.4
that the farmers are attended to and make a good living
05:13.4
and to solidify and strengthen our agricultural communities.
05:17.4
So we can learn from one another in many, many ways.
05:20.4
And I think that that has been an ongoing process for a long time now,
05:26.4
not just now because of the food crisis that we are feeling around the world,
05:31.4
but also because we have very similar priorities when it comes to agriculture.
05:39.4
So I'm very optimistic.
05:41.4
I have a follow-up.
05:43.4
The question I was supposed to ask yesterday, but when the earthquake happened, so it's cut off.
05:50.4
So I would like to know from you, how are you looking forward to the economy, trade,
05:57.4
and investment prospects between China and the Philippines,
06:02.4
especially after the RCEP took effect?
06:05.4
I think, again, since the RCEP has now taken effect, it's clear that the volumes should increase.
06:14.4
And so, again, I am very optimistic that the trade between our two countries, China and the Philippines,
06:23.4
not only in agriculture, but in other aspects as well.
06:27.4
I cannot see it lessening.
06:30.4
I can only see it growing.
06:33.4
Thank you, Mr. President.
06:35.4
Thank you, Malatanya Press Corps.
06:38.4
Maraming salamat.
06:39.4
Magandang umaga sa inyo.
