Various media outfits like ABS CBN, DZRH, Net25 TV, etc. interviewed PAGASA Pres. Steven T. Cua especially after he "politely declined" Malacañang's request for him to endorse the Palace's move to place a price ceiling for regular- and well-milled rice and sell the same below cost.

ABS CBN's Alvin Elchico carried his story in the different news formats of ABS CBN.  Ali Sotto and Pat Daza interviewed live via Zoom for Net25 TV and DZEC on their Program on 13 September 2023. DZRH Program "Balansyado" on the other hand, was hosted by Henry Uri and Karen Ow-Yong. Issue: "How come some wet markets like Mega-Q-Mart can sell rice at P45 per kilo?" Truth is  NFA offered them cheap rice and promised a rebate of P15,000 to sell below cost.
