Government to Sell Cheap Rice in National Housing Areas

The government will open Kadiwa stores in NHA housing sites. They will sell rice for ₱33 per kilo. This will start this month, General Manager Joeben Tai announced the plan on Monday. The stores will open from April to May 2025. They will be in Central Luzon and Region IV. Some locations include San Jose del Monte (Bulacan), Laguna, Naic, Bacoor (Cavite), and parts of Rizal.  

The Kadiwa ng Pangulo program sells affordable rice, vegetables, meat, and fish to Filipinos. Each family can buy 3 to 50 kilos (1 sack) of rice. The program aims to help 1.2 million families in NHA housing. 

Right now, the government is still buying rice. But they already have 80,000 sacks ready. The rice may arrive in housing sites this week or next week. The NHA and the Department of Agriculture (DA) signed an agreement last March to start this program.
