ng kanilang voucher, kasama na ito, dun sa kanilang kukunin.

Follow-up lang, ma'am, isa pa.

May napipisil na po ba kayo na maging kalihim ng Department of Agriculture?

Yun na lang po yung natitiran bakante na wala tayong leader.

Marami. Tinatanong ko sa kanila lahat.

Inaantay ko mag-volunteer silang mag-secretary. Ayaw akong palisin eh.

So hanggat matapos, well, we have...

you know, the truth of the matter is that we have really

managed to make some very important structural changes in the Department of Agriculture.

So iniisa-isa natin yan.

The problem had been, was during the beginning of this year,

ay naging crisis lahat ng food supply, food prices,

lahat fertilizer prices, etc.

Kaya napakalaking bagay nitong donation na binigay sa atin ng China.

At yun, we were just trying to put up emergency measures

para naman mabigyan natin ng konting tulong at suporta ang ating mga magsasaka.

Ngayon, more or less, the prices of the agricultural commodities

are beginning, they are not yet stabilized, are beginning to stabilize.

Now we are going to make the structural changes that are important

to increase production, number one,

to ensure the food supply of the Philippines, not only rice, but also corn, also fisheries, also livestock.

So yan ang ating mga ginagawa ngayon

para naman hindi na tayo umabot sa crisis na sitwasyon

kagaya ng dadatlan natin after the pandemic.

Kaya ang aking hangarin para sa DA

ay pag iniwanan ko ang DA,

by that time, we will have systems in place

so that we can guarantee the food supply of the Philippines, number one,

we can guarantee that the prices are affordable,

and number three, that our farmers make a good living.

So hanggat matapos natin yun,

I suppose you will just have to put up with me as DA Secretary.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Leth Narciso, DCRH.

Good morning, Mr. President.

Good morning.

Sir, may we get an update on the review of rice tarification law?

Ang inaalala po kasi ng ating mga magsasaka,

kahit lumakas ang ating production,

kailangan pa rin nilang makipagkumpetensya sa imported na bigas.

Well, that has always been the case,

but that has been kaya kailangan natin mag-import ng bigas

dahil ang production cost nga natin ay mataas.

Kaya ang presyo ng bigas dito sa Pilipinas ay ginagawa natin,

pagka nagkukulang, nag-import tayo.

Kaya we always have compete.

Hindi natin may iwasan mag-compete.

Naggumawa tayo, we just approved and rolled out the export,

the plan for the export industries in the Philippines yesterday.

And that is something that we really have to be able to take advantage of.

Kasi sinasabi natin may RCEP.

Sinasabi natin may ASEAN.

Meron tayo mga free trade agreements.

Okay, maganda yan. Nabuksan ang merkado.

Both for our markets, both for our products, tool markets,

but also as supply for our importation.

So mabababa ang tariff ng iba't ibang produkto pag nag-import.

Ngunit mababawi naman natin yan sa export.

So we have to learn to compete.

Kaya bukas ang merkado na yan, hindi lang ibig sabihin dahil nabuksan na yan,

lahat ng export natin kukunin.

We have to continue to compete.

Pero wala tayo, hindi natin may iwasan yan.

Ganyan ang mundo ngayon.

We are a global economy.

And we have to compete in the global economy.

And that is why our agriculture has to be brought to a level where we can say it is world-class

and can compete with all the agricultural producers around the world,

especially in our region.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Ms. Wang Shengsheng of CCTV.

Good morning, Mr. President.

I would like to know from you,

so what's your expectation about the agriculture cooperation between China and the Philippines?

It's very, very promising.

As I mentioned in my remarks during the program,

it turns out that the priority that we put here in the Philippines on agriculture,

the Chinese government, as it was explained to me by President Xi when I went to visit him last January,

was the same, that their outlook, that their priorities are the same,

that there is food supply, that there is affordable food supply,

that the farmers are attended to and make a good living

and to solidify and strengthen our agricultural communities.

So we can learn from one another in many, many ways.

And I think that that has been an ongoing process for a long time now,

not just now because of the food crisis that we are feeling around the world,

but also because we have very similar priorities when it comes to agriculture.

So I'm very optimistic.

I have a follow-up.

The question I was supposed to ask yesterday, but when the earthquake happened, so it's cut off.

So I would like to know from you, how are you looking forward to the economy, trade,

and investment prospects between China and the Philippines,

especially after the RCEP took effect?

I think, again, since the RCEP has now taken effect, it's clear that the volumes should increase.

And so, again, I am very optimistic that the trade between our two countries, China and the Philippines,

not only in agriculture, but in other aspects as well.

I cannot see it lessening.

I can only see it growing.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Good morning.

Thank you, Malatanya Press Corps.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Maraming salamat.

Magandang umaga sa inyo.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
