President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has thumbed down the proposal to import an additional 300,000 metric tons of sugar, Malacañang announced Wednesday.
Marcos is the chairman of the Sugar Regulatory Board and "denied this in no uncertain terms," Press Secretary Trixie Cruz Angeles said in a statement.
In June, the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) warned of insufficient sugar supply in the country, which caused prices to surge.
