在马科斯总统对进口大米实施为期30天的价格上限后，菲律宾农业部已加强了对全国市场和商店的检查。根据《价格法》，违规者可能面临监禁、最高100万比索的罚款，甚至可能被勒令停业。
农业部长弗朗西斯科·蒂乌·劳雷尔（Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr.）表示，强制性价格上限赋予了当局比之前依赖自愿遵守的建议零售价更强大的权力。“强制性价格上限现在允许农业部对违规者实施惩罚性制裁和罚款，”他表示。
根据《价格法》，违规者可被判处一年至十年监禁，并处以5000比索至100万比索不等的罚款，或两者并罚。行政措施包括暂时或永久关闭店铺、没收库存以及吊销营业执照。
该限价规定适用于5%破碎率的进口大米，并可能在评估后进行调整或取消。大米被归类为基本生活必需品，这使得农业部能够在价格出现不合理上涨期间采取行动。
