Gov't to distribute P15,000 cash grants to some small rice retailers affected by price ceiling

Cash payouts scheduled on September 11 will target only 337 small rice retailers in Pateros, Navotas, Parañaque City, and Zamboanga del Sur

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Social Welfare and Development is set to distribute financial assistance to retailers affected by the government’s move to implement a price ceiling on rice.

At least 15 beneficiaries in Pateros, 161 in Navotas City, 129 in Parañaque City, and 32 in Zamboanga del Sur will receive P15,000 through DSWD’s Sustainable Livelihood Program. The price ceiling took effect on September 5, and will remain until lifted by the President, whose campaign promises include bringing the price of rice down to P20. The scheduled cash payout on Monday is the second after initial distributions in Quezon City and San Juan City on September 9. DSWD and DTI are also set to meet soon to identify more targets in NCR and other provinces.
