As Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., marks one year in office on 30 June, his promise to bring down the price of rice to 20 pesos (0.33 euro) per kilo has not been fulfilled. Current prices of the staple Filipino food in regular markets are upwards of 40 pesos (0.66 euro), at least double that of the target Marcos vowed to achieve.
