00:00It was discovered that in several stores in Valenzuela, the imported rice was sold for more than the maximum suggested retail price.
00:07Some containers were also confiscated there that were defective and had no cellulose.
00:11Here's the first news, Bernadette Reyes.
00:16In just two days, this many containers were confiscated by Valenzuela City Hall.
00:22Among these, the containers were not calibrated before being used.
00:26When we got the containers, my sister said that there was no problem with the containers.
00:31However, there was no cellulose.
00:34We bought them online.
00:37We were not able to get cellulose.
00:40We were not able to get cellulose.
00:42These are the more than 80 containers that were confiscated by the local government of Valenzuela.
00:47If they were not defective, they had no cellulose, which means that the containers were not calibrated correctly.
00:55The violators were fined P5,000,
00:58aside from P400 for their weighting if the containers were calibrated correctly.
01:04As for the suspension of business permit, the second offense was fined P10,000.
01:09While the third offense was fined P15,000,
01:12along with the revocation of the business permit,
01:15they were not able to sell the containers.
01:17If you are suspicious about the rice that you bought,
01:21you can counter-check the weighting of the containers.
01:24Aside from the defective containers,
01:26there were also those imported rice that exceeded the maximum suggested retail price
01:29in the Surprise Inspection of the New Maronas Market.
01:34That is local rice.
01:36According to the DA, the inspector,
01:39our quota is not up to P1,450.
01:44So if you look at it, it's almost P100.
01:49How much can I grow on the street?
01:50Then, will I still buy plastic or what?
01:53So, I need to grow.
01:54The Department of Agriculture will study
01:57if the so-called rice retailers are in violation.
02:00There are rice that are exempted from the maximum SRP,
02:03such as local rice, Japanese rice, and brown rice.
02:07This is the first news.
