In Cambodia we have enough rice for consumption and export, but for those poor who have to buy rice, it's also hurt them when price goes up.
PH can import rice, which is way cheaper, but it will affect their local rice producers
What a beautiful, charming family. Hope they have tons of happy days ahead of them.
Thank you so much ❤
amen
What a world we live in!! A family has to cut down on something as simple as rice and also there are people who won't eat the meat because they asked for medium rare and its well done!
It’s called DON’T HAVE CHILDREN!!!!!!
Yet they can afford soda pop.
It about priorities.
@@spikefivefivefive yeah!! Such luxuries right 👍. You are absolutely correct.
ah that also happens in indonesia.... arround 1960 - 1970, my mom change to rice into cassava.... as long as we can eat enough... and cassava is healthy enough to subtitute rice.....
I feel very sad for the Indonesians and for the other Asian countries who are struggling to buy basic food products like rice, cooking oil and eggs. It is a shame that this is happening! It is the fault of the white people who create chaos in the world with their wars and such.
Filipinos and asians will never cut down on Rice no matter how much it skyrockets, its muscle memory to have it as part of daily diet.
Not counting Central/South American, Arab, African Countries that eat rice as well. Its a lot of Rice
My family has also cut down on rice. We’ve been mixing Jasmine with long grain rice which is a bit cheaper.
I've also cut down on rice but not because of the price, but because of my growing waist line 😭😅
Combine rice with legumes and it would fill a lot more and include a cheap protein source.
My environmental science teacher taught us that there are a lot of places in the world where rice is the main staple. But that causes vitamin deficiencies. So they've actually created a breed of rice that is infused with vitamins . Mostly vitamin A because eyesight issues are common in those parts of the world due to vitamin deficiency
Yes, people need animal products to have a healthy life, but now they can't even afford to buy basic foods like rice. It is really bad and sad. There are powers in the world who created this chaos and disaster and the normal people are victims because of their evil actions.
The differences on class level. Some cant even afford rice let alone soup.
We also prefer COCO PANDAN rice at home. I purchase 1 sack of rice per month (25kilos) which is 1400 pesos, but since I buy per sack I get a discount of 50 pesos. I can also attest to “Rice is Life”. So i also prioritize my favorite rice over my favorite ulam.😊
My girlfriend buys two 50kg bags of rice for her family and only barely last a month. They eat rice every meal so goes by fast.
@@coyote_0056 your GF must be feeding her entire baranggay.
We cook rice 1 cup small cup noodle size for 3 people for the whole day. Fish and veggies only. Fruits for the nutrients. Then water only.... Stopped drinking milk since it cost 30USD for 1.8kg of powdered milk..... Mom and Dad still do. Lost weight of 10kg already... Everything is too expensive. Potatoes are even expensive or Sweet Potatoes. 4 pcs of Potatoes cost 4USD... 4 pcs of medium sized Sweet Potatoes cost a whopping 5USD. Who could've thought they are more expensive than rice!!!!!!!
How old are you?
This is sad. We have also cut down on our rice consumption. For me, it's also about shifting to other carb sources, but I am able to source and buy those. I am not sure for the other Filipinos who are the lower income bracket.
Don't worry India agreed to export rice to 7 countries and Philippines is one of them.
One of the reasons why food is expensive in mu country is the VAT on fuel. The lawmakers should look for ways to tax other things in lieu of fuel tax.
Golden Era po Kami .......... unity lng kmi
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Putting beans in the rice works too. Plus it makes it more nutritious
By the way, their language seems to have quite a lot of English mixed in it?
English is an official language in the Philippines and is used in formal documents aside from Filipino. Everyday conversations here involve a mixture of the local dialect/language and common English words.
@@SeaKrait571did you tell them they don’t have to do that anymore? 😂
In this video it's not the Filipino people but in general the starch most Asian people consume is rice and not potatoes or pasta and it's a known fact and if you want to extend it use long grain vs short grain and extend it with assorted vegetables as I know all the tricks and a little chicken base and you can make vegetable fried rice just add some oyster sauce soy sauce and sesame oil and you can add any protein like beef pork chicken even sausage and some eggs on top complete meal as I do sometimes and you should see what these restaurants charge or take out and that's why I don't go to restaurants anymore because I know how to make it myself and it's a lot cheaper and enjoy it at home
Don't let speculators toy with the prices of our essential food.
😔 this inflation is hitting hard everywhere.
Lots of things are very expensive now
The cheapest rice in my country is actually sitting at 149 Phillipines peso per kg... I can't afford that every week! And my govt hasn't set any cap on food. Cost inflation is everywhere and corporate supermarkets are robbing us.
You're exaggerating! In my region, before the government implemented national prices per kilo, we can buy well-milled local harvest at a price of 38.00 pesos. Red rice cost around 40.00 to 47.00 but now, the once cost 38 has risen to 45 because of central Luzon's problems with smuggling and hoarding. The locals and other region consumers who rely on affordable local harvests has been affected due to one's fault. Such price you mentioned probably imported those that are finely polished and added with aroma. Even before the national price implementation, I've never heard or seen such price like that for the most expensive imported rice here in our place. The ones are expensive only cost around 50.00 to 60.00 pesos per kilo.
Can you maybe replace with some potatoes? Or some oatmeal?
Our family of 5 only cooks 3 cups of rice per meal... This with two very active teenagers. I'm just surprised at how she can cook 6 cups just for her family of four. Her kids are even very young. Perhaps they need to consider adding healthier, cheaper alternatives in their meals.
They're Asian so 6 cups of rice for a family of four isn't unheard of. They probably don't eat any other sources of carbs during meals.
I'm Asian too... from the same country, in fact. Their rice intake is simply too much.
My family cook 2.5 cup for 5 people per meal. We from middle income family and asian. It shock me too..😅
6 cups includes the packed lunch for my husband.technically 6 cups is brunch ,breakfast and lunch and packed lunch for my husband who is going to work for 8 hours .😊
Rice is life o.o PH
Sweet potatoes can fill up an entire family and its cost is similar to rice. You also don't have to cook other dishes to go with the rice so it's more cost-effective. Filipino cuisine, unlike other cuisine, is a bit rustic due to method of cooking, availability of ingredients, economic situation, and lack of exposure to different cuisines.
I also grew up eating rice on a daily basis but when I became an adult and got exposed to different cuisines, it opened a whole new world for me.
Also I'm now more frugal and can attest that forgoing rice is not more expensive. You just have to be smart with how you spend your money and look for better deals.
There are many plant-based alternatives that would not break Filipinos' banks and that are complete protein unlike rice. The problem is majority of the populace is in the marginalized sector so theyre not keen on online shopping or researching about nutrition. For most people, balance diet is a luxury, which shouldn't really be the case especially in a country rich in agriproducts. Most of these imported ingredients wont be found in wet market and not readily accessible to poor people, despite being cheaper compared to its local counterpart.
Exactly. Sweet potatoes have one of the highest calories per land area values among food staples and is less finicky than rice. The belief that its only fit as a snack is only cultural bias. It’s a staple in other cultures, even in some areas of the Philippines.
But eating just sweet potatoes doesn't hit the same as eating rice regardless if it's filling or not
@@kosan2875 i agree but when you're experiencing financial difficulties, one can't be too picky. Compared to rice, sweet potatoes are more nutritious.
@@kosan2875 I specifically said to reduce rice consumption, not eliminate it completely. Also, I mentioned other food alternatives.
@@homebrews9957 But not with legumes. Rice (or pasta) and legumes is a very cheap, nutritious and clean meal.
You can work all day by that until dinner.
You can't eat 100 g of dried beans with potatoes, but you certainly will be full with rice and way lesser than 50 g of legumes (beans, chickpeas, peas or whatever you fell like).
Your body can't absorb the cheap protein inside beans without carbohydrates, you need to combine them with rice or pasta.
Filipine, having had a heavy influence from the Spanish domination, are rice and beans country, like all the Center and South-American, Portugal and Brasil included despite being linguistically Portuguese.
Also it's better for Filipine economy to eat what their climate, soil and water suggest to produce, since their supply chain are way safer than bein dependant from foreing import and cheaper.
I think Filipinos should include more of less finicky sources of carbohydrates like sweet potato, cassava, and sorghum to reduce the pressure on the rice supply. Just a slight change in mindset would work a long way to Philippine food independence.
What % of rice consumed is domestically produced in the #Philippines?
Here in Somalia we import basmati rice we normally consume from Pakistan as it does not grow here.
We are too dry not enough water.
I think those foods are more expensive than white rice
It’s more expensive. Russet potato here in US runs about 67 cents/lbs or roughly 83 pesos/kg
Sweet potato is usually sold here $1.14 per kilo or 64 Pesos, it's a bit expensive from the average kilo of rice, sorghum is not very common and I don't think people around here know how to cook it, they probably don't even know it. Cassava is sold at $.79 or 45 pesos, a bit cheaper and if there's a good supply of it, it would be a great carb substitute.
it's not the rice supply the problem but the manipulation by corrupt officials in our country
Be realistic, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and the like are more expensive than rice. Even though Filipinos would like to refrain from eating rice, it cannot be. You can buy 3 kilos of rice for a kilo of potatoes.
Eat vegetables? The prices are not affordable.
It depends, here in the states beans and lentils are way healthier than beans and cost the same if not less. Rice is very bad for your health, especially white rice.
Back then we used to mix rice with sweet potatoes/ taro… because we didn’t have enough rice for each. 😢. And we ate with fish sauce .
I would go for Congee. An Asian rice porridge. It's basically rice and water and you can have other toppings to go along with it to enhance the taste. It's the only budget meal I can possibly think of and it's simple to make. Poor working class people in China would always make this to get by.
too watery, you'll get hungry every 2 hours
@@nathalee.a yeah I don't like it too waterly and thin or neither too thick but just the right consistency.
We already have a version if that. We call it Arroz Caldo.
go eat tempeh-tofu-casava-taro-sorghum-sago-corn and potato! also cake-biscuits and cookies, theres wholesale for broken/flaw cookies-bicuits-assorments and cake for employee, i think u can get way cheaper if u can try the backdoor/afterclose sale . . . or leftover sale, aslong still edible and good . . . always watch n ask more than one time about the ingredients and expiration dates, in UK 1,3kg broken cookuits only 4£
Cookies and cakes are way expensive than rice 😊
its cheap if u can grow it ur self like dutch, no land but able to feed entire europe, stop building casinos for money laundromate and taxhaven!@@genelyndungog9683😝
Plant cassava at home....more nutritious than rice. Can reduce rice intake considerably. Two mature cassava trees can feed a family a day.
indonesian here. i was surprise when the pandan wangi's price increase 50%/kg . that is crazyy. i choose less snack and make my own frozen food .
2kg/day for a family of four seems too much. Maybe stick with a regular-sized serving of rice?
2 kg a day isn’t a lot when they can’t afford to make many side dishes.
I cut down eating rice 2 x/ day previously to 1x nowadays.i eat roti canai/ chapati
I've totally stopped eating rice 🍚🌾 for a few months now..also just started 16/8 Intermittent fasting and lost a few kgs already..now I make my own keto flaxseed bread etc
You dont have to fast,just cut down the portion.i do it too.a cup for 3 people twice a day.thats how i survive.
fasting is too cut down her belly fat and to have healthier life
There's no shortage of rice in the Philippines. Reports say tons of cheap rice, sugar, flour, cooking oil and petrol are smuggled by boat from heavily subsidized Malaysia every single day, because of the porous borders and vast coastlines.
As Filipina American on fixed income myself I understand it's hard to come by foods we actually need
My mom who lived through the second world war told stories of how they ate corn, cassava and sweet potatoes in place of rice during the war. Here in North America, people avoid rice for dietary reasons..they boil and mash cauliflower instead for rice…or eat other grains like couscous or bulgur or barley.
@@TheMaiah13 you are right but we have to do with what we get from the food bank and other resources that is why we wash the rice really good before cooking it
@@TheMaiah13 I follow you Maganda Ate 🥰🪔✨🧸🪽 hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year

What % of rice consumed is domestically produced in the #Philippines?
Here in Somalia we import basmati rice we normally consume from Pakistan as it does not grow here.
We are too dry not enough water.
Philippines is the 8th rice producing country in the world.
Locally, about 56% are produced from Luzon.
But then the country is 2nd or almost the top importer of rice coming from Thailand & Vietnam.
Since, produce isn't enough for the 80% of the population consumption.
Reference of PH Total rice produce: ipad.fas.usda.gov/countrysummary/Default.aspx?id=RP&crop=Rice
Basmati rice is healthy for you it’s full of minerals & Iron but sweet potatoes are better for the gut. All this Inflation due to poor management of this world. Kids need healthy diets so does everyone. You are not asking for the world, you are simply asking for the basics of survival and you work also and if these worlds leaders cannot sort this 💩 mess out they become responsible for the deaths of unhealthy people. They are not fit to lead. Rice is not enough, kids need broccoli, carrots, veggies & fruits & fish or a meat.
Well in WW2, when rice is scare, ppl grow and eat sweet potatoes.
how does this affect the rice farmers though?
The rice that we, above average Filipinos' buy, are "pandan rice" or "jasmin rice", which are both good smelling, small grains and soft and delicious! This costs me 65 euros for 40 kgs...this family, is NOT poor, but considered to be "middle class" in Manila! She even has a computer, and her kids "do not" look like "malnourished", she's even fat! Some families, here in Belgium, don't have computers, even, and can't afford "bread"!!! The economy "worldwide" is getting worse, and its' because of the wars, there will be famine! I noticed it this years, that "celebrating" Christmas and New Years here in Belgium, is sooo expensive; it has raised prices up to 35%! And, monthly food expenses ranges from 200 euro minimum, and 600 euro maximum, for one person only! How are those families, that have many children survive on 1.000 euro per month, with car expenses and food, so "patas" lang!!! The economy worldwide has the same "system": and that's 60.000 pesos ,or 1.000 euro a month! This is just enough for food and some clothings, and a few cents for the transportation! I hear "people" in Belgium, that, don't eat anymore for a three meal per day, but depends only on "bread"! If, you want to eat rice, you're gonna have to eat the hard rice they sell on the market! Also, the quality of food, that Belgium and America have is "lowest" quality, therefore, I invest on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, and cut on meat!!! You have to be "wise" to survive in a modern world, and avoid buying "cancerous" foods, such as cheezes and charcuteries, and processed foods!
Dear friend, the new poverty is being fat and malnourished. This is due to eating a lot of carbs and not enough fruit, vegetables and lean protein. I'm shocked to read your post about things being so bad in Belgium. I always believed you were a rich country with a very high standard of living. I myself am from the UK. A lot of people are having a very hard time. Happy New Year.

Did I just watch a video where ppl thought eating plain rice or with soysauce was delicious?
My thoughts exactly 🤔
Rice in the Philippines is actually is a basic necessity but if you are a parent you have to be strategic why not switch from Bread with ham and cheese for Breakfast and oats or cereal and Potatoes, or mashed potatoes and Pasta for dinner pasta is much cheaper compare to rices. Oatmeal and bread and eggs for Breakfast.
From being the top exporter of rice to poor quality of domestic rice. Paano tayo nakarating dito 😢
Kailan man hindi tayo naging exporter!

❤️😍
Our family of 4 adults only consumes 4 cups of uncooked rice per day. Coz eating too much rice can lead to health problems in the future.
Wow she cook 6 cups of rice for lunch in the past?? That's a lot of rice.
Hi. 6 cups is for breakfast and lunch and a portion of packed lunch for my husband that is going to work for 8 hours . For ordinary Filipino like me we usually eat 3 times a day of rice. But since it went up we combined breakfast and lunch with a portion of packed lunch for my husband . And at night I only cooked 2-3 cups. For ordinary Filipino like me we rely on rice. That's why we called it "rice is life "
@@genelyndungog9683 my Filipino colleague also eat 2 plates of white rice with 1 serving of Lechon.. he takes 3 spoons or rice for each spoon of meat.. amazing
We are 3 in the family here and I cook 3 cups of rice for 2 meals everyday..I think thats normal.
eat more potatoes. i kid you not, it's better than rice. after eating rice you'll feel heavy and "tired", you wont feel the same side effect after eating potatoes.
How do you cooked the potatoes
Its a cultural thing. Its like asking Indians to stop eating roti or chapati bec flour has become expensive..and eat potatoes only. Its like asking Germans to stop eating bread and only eat rice bec flour is expensive. Or Italians to give up pasta. People will not do it, period because thats their staple food.
NOPE!! Rice is so much better than potato. Eating potato make me gagging and almost throw up.
Rice is life.
Ay ganun n Pala ka mhal ng rice sa atin? Asan n po Yung pangako na ibalik 20pesos n kilo ng bigas? Di pla natupad?
It's painful to see how The country regressed from being self sufficient and major rice exporter to an importer. Also the quality of locally produced rice have vastly reduced.
D bigas yung mahal. Yung ulam ang mahal.
Absolutely unacceptable to have to worry about a staple food in our world of abundance. The government officials and elites waste more in a hour than the poor consume all year. Someday the people will not be so understanding about such disparities
1kg of rice per day 🧐 seems like family is eating only rice and no meat/fish/pulses . Also the monthly earning is not low to cut rice , there maybe some more things where family is spending money but they don’t want to cut.
It's not a reality rice hoarding in the Philippines please reacher well...
Even if Filipinos are starving, they’re still going to vote for Marcos and the corrupt others that promised 20php/kilo rice because Pilipino Pride!

Stop your country corruption, make them work harder. It can become a rich country. I dont understand why they are so poor. They have the best English in whole of Asia.
Because we are billions in $s in debt? We are barely covering interests in foreign debt that national programs take a back seat towards debt repayment. The poorest of the poor take the brunt of hardship.
the income disparity is vast from lower class to middle class - upper class. The country is progressing but it is the middle class that benefits from the reforms, the upper class stays richer and the lower class becomes poorer.
see then it's a proof, English don't make you rich.
corruption is western cultures brought to Asia during colonial times.

The Philippines 🇵🇭 is the biggest export of Vietnamese rice. Vietnam 🇻🇳 promised to keep a stable price for the Philippine market.
The Philippines should be able to grow enough rice for their citizens, because of their land size and fertility
Stop putting flag emoji its annoying 🙄
@@containedhurricane Exactly! The Philippines has very fertile land suitable for agriculture -- but due to government's lack of support of farmers, the Philippines relies heavily on imports. And the imports business is dominated by the conglomerate families! It's ridiculous how expensive vegetables are in the Philippines.
Its nice vietnam decide to help out, but in the long run its best to have a more reliable policy on food stable
I remember back in the ‘70s, we had a govt agency called the International Rice Research Institute where other asian countries come and learn how to grow rice better. Now, its sad that Vietnamese rice is being exported into the market bec we ourselves can no longer grow enough for the country.

They need to switch to healthier options like more meat and vegetables instead of rice
Tell me you don’t understand food insecurity without telling me you don’t understand food insecurity. More meat? SMH.
Rice is one of the cheapest cheapest cheapest things you can eat on the entire planet.
It’s also strange that Philippines is struggling with rice inflation, they’re an exporter of rice. It’s corruption, their government would rather sell it to other countries for 3 times the price than to its citizens.
I recently paid almost $50 for 15 lbs of Koshihikari. That's the special rice, though, and kept for certain meals.
Fellow Filipino's stop eating rice three times a day. Cut your plate filled with rice and add more greens. Time to eat more varieties and learn to eat different food. There's abundance of food, but Filipino's for some reason only fill themselves with rice if it's their only option. Rice is not healty to you body and your pocket. If you'r e5" and overweight just look at the white stuff overflowing on your plate, don't even think about going for a second round of it.
I’m not Filipino but I am Asian. Our culture eat a lot of rice but we also consumed a lot of vegetables. The west eats less rice but they eat lot of processed food. I guess every country have their own bad habits.
I have friend who do only organic, spend tons of money for the healthy lifestyle and end up got sick.
Filling our stomach with white rice is way cheaper than doing it with fresh vegetables, fruits and meat
@inspectshow You are very privileged. It's good that you consider more healthy choices. But unfortunately, there are some Filipinos who can't afford even basic food. For long time, those survive on recycled meat (leftover meat thrown in rubbish) and even eat dog food rice because it's cheaper. There were sugar and onion crisis in the Philippines last year. Vegetables are also not cheap unlike India and fellow South East Asia countries. I don't believe that white rice is bad for health. Even Okinawa, Japan uses rice as their staple food all the time, and is still one of blue zone where their inhabitants live to be over 100 years old in good health. So rice is important aspect of Asia like bread as staple food for West.
@@annat6249 Yes, there is vegan influencer who only survived on raw vegan diet. She never consumed carbs, meat and even water. Then she died of starvation while still being sick.
"and add more greens"
Wait till you find out how expensive vegetables are in the Philippines! Only the rich can afford to eat vegetables on a regular basis. There's a reason why most Filipinos are content with just rice and pork.
