PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Tuesday distributed rice to 1,000 residents in San Andres, Manila.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The move was part of the government\u2019s efforts to provide sufficient food supply to every Filipino.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The distributed sacks of rice were part of the 42,180 sacks of smuggled rice seized by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) from a warehouse in Bgy. Baliwasan, Zamboanga City that were eventually donated to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Each beneficiary received 25 kilograms of rice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBilang patunay na ang pamahalaan ay seryoso sa pagsugpo ng smuggling , ang mga bitbit po naming mga bigas ngayon ay mula sa mga nakumpiskang supply sa Zamboanga Port na napatunayang hindi dumaan sa legal na proseso ng importasyon,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Marcos said it is better to distribute the rice to those in need rather than going to waste.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAng bigas ay minabuti nating ibigay sa mga mamamayan. Dumaan ito sa tamang proseso, ng imbestigasyon, pagkumpiska at inspeksyon upang matiyak na ito ay ligtas na ipmahagi sa mga nangangailangan,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Chief Executive reiterated that there is enough supply of rice in the Philippines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSapat ang supply ng bigas dito sa Pilipinas. Ang kailangan lamang po ay ang maayos na pamamahala ng produksyon at bentahan nito,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The President earlier distributed rice to 4Ps beneficiaries in Tungawan, Zamboanga Sibugay; Iriga City, Camarines Sur; and General Trias, Cavite.<\/p>\n
