Joining the President at the launch of the Benteng Bigas Meron Na program at the Zapote-Bacoor Public Market in Bacoor City were Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., Cavite 2nd District Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla and Bacoor City Mayor Strike Revilla.

Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said the launch of the program in public markets is in line with the President's directive to agencies to further expand the affordable rice program to benefit more low-income families.
