(ABS-CBN News) MANILA: Malacañang has rejected the call of some senators to withdraw President Duterte’s executive order that lowers to 35 percent the tariff rates on imported rice for a year. Duterte made the decision to avert any possible rice shortage in the next months and avoid difficulty in importing rice from neighboring Southeast Asian countries, which tightened their exports last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque Jr. cited Vietnam when it initially did not allow rice exports so it could proritise its own food security during the pandemic. Duterte had to take up the matter with Vietnam President Nguyen Xuan Phuc who agreed that the Philippines should still get supply but at much higher prices.
