During his campaign for the 2022 elections, and now as president, Marcos has repeatedly promised to bring down the price of rice to P20 per kilo. This has yet to be fulfilled.

 

 

The bottom line: During his 2022 campaign, Marcos vowed to lower the price of the food staple to P20 to P30 per kilo by recommending a price cap. In his first two years as president, he also stuck to the promise and said the country was getting closer to achieving this goal.

 

Campaign promise: On April 17, 2022, Marcos’ political party Partido Federal ng Pilipinas said in a statement that Marcos would ensure lower rice prices once elected president.

“Tiniyak ni Partido Federal ng Pilipinas presidential frontrunner Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr., na magkakaroon ng murang bigas na hanggang P20 kada kilo sa kanyang administrasyon matapos siyang manalo sa darating na halalan sa Mayo 9,” the statement read.
