President Duterte has issued Executive Order No. 135 authorizing the temporary reduction of the Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff rates on rice imports to 35 percent.
Executive Order No. 134, on the other hand, seeks to slightly raise the tariff rates on pork imports earlier reduced by the President.
