No need to hoard food supplies, says MarcosMANILA, Philippines — As high fuel prices threaten to drive up inflation, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday, March 18, assured the public that there is no need to hoard food supplies. “Ang supply natin, maganda naman ang supply natin ng pagkain, ng bigas, lahat ng mga basic goods. Kaya ‘yung ating mga kababayan sinasabi natin, hindi naman kailangan mag-hoarding at hindi tayo nagkukulang sa food supply,” Marcos said. (Our supplies, our supply of food is good, of rice, of all the basic goods. That is why to our citizens, we say, there is no need to hoard and we will not run short of food supplies.)
