Marcos Inspects Massive Rice Reserves in Bulacan Amidst Food Security Concerns

President Bongbong Marcos to Visit Major Rice Warehouse Amidst Food Security Concerns President Bongbong Marcos is scheduled to visit a National Food Authority (NFA) warehouse in San Ildefonso, Bulacan today, May 28, 2025, to inspect the substantial rice reserves held within. This visit comes at a crucial time, as the country grapples with rising food prices and concerns about food security. GMA News reporter Mariz Umali, present at the warehouse, reported that the facility holds a significant 58,000 sacks of rice. "This rice is set to be distributed to millers," Umali stated, "processed into 20-peso rice, and made available to vulnerable sectors of the population." The visit underscores the government's commitment to stabilizing rice prices and ensuring adequate food supply for all Filipinos. The large-scale operation of moving and distributing such a volume of rice is a testament to the logistical challenges involved in maintaining food security. President Marcos's direct engagement with this crucial aspect of the food supply chain demonstrates his commitment to addressing the concerns of Filipino farmers and citizens alike.
