On September 5, 2023, House Bill 9030 known as the Rice Emergency Bill was filed by Marikina Representative Stella Luz Quimbo which seeks to create measures in response to the increasing price of rice. HB 9030, if passed, will give emergency powers to the President Marcos Jr. to put the country under a national rice emergency with the conditions that there is (1) an extreme shortage of rice, and (2) an increased price of rice. Under the Rice Emergency Bill, the government may redirect resources from Rice Competitive Enhancement Fund (RCEF) and other agencies to increase subsidies for farmers, consumers, and retailers, impose heavier penalties for hoarding and price manipulation, and reducing rice tariffs to zero and may affect certain provisions of the Rice Tariffication Law and the Rice Price Act. While the emergency powers will expire in six months, combined with Rice Price Cap, the zeroing of tariffs entails billions of revenue loss from import tariffs and consequently may have a considerable challenge on local farmers and retailers.
