00:00 So, let's go back to the budget, Mare and Pare.
00:03 And of course, Mark, the price of the eggs has gone up again.
00:10 The eggs are affected by your topsy-turvy.
00:12 Oh, you even said that.
00:14 What about you? What was your breakfast earlier?
00:16 All of them had eggs.
00:18 Even though I just dried them, I still put eggs in them.
00:22 Is that sunny-side up? What do you want?
00:24 I want sunny-side up.
00:25 -Firm. -Firm?
00:26 I want the outside to be crunchy, but the inside to be wet.
00:30 There, you're good.
00:31 Egg retailers are getting more and more aggressive.
00:34 Not just us, but also the sales.
00:37 Here's a news report from James Agustin.
00:40 Each tray of extra small eggs is now Php 200 in this store in Santa Cruz, Manila.
00:47 Php 210 for the small size.
00:50 Php 220 for the medium size.
00:52 And Php 230 for the large size.
00:54 You can also buy an extra large, Php 240 for each tray,
00:58 while the jumbo is Php 250.
01:01 That's more than Php 10 more than last week.
01:04 Each tray has 30 eggs.
01:07 The sellers say that the price of eggs has gone up for a month.
01:11 The farm said that the supply is not enough.
01:14 They said that the gas and feeds are high.
01:20 That's what they said.
01:22 Because the price went up, the sales went down.
01:25 We only get a little bit of our eggs.
01:28 Before, we only get Php 50, now we only get Php 20.
01:31 We lost almost half of the eggs.
01:34 The effect of this is felt by the businessmen.
01:37 Mark has a top slogan for his voters,
01:39 that three trays of eggs are being sold out every day.
01:42 The cheapest eggs are available.
01:44 If the price goes up, we can't do anything.
01:48 We can't increase the price of our eggs.
01:52 That's the standard in our menu.
01:56 Wilman is also buying eggs from his market
01:58 that is being sold in Talipapa in Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City.
02:01 His voters understand that he's happy that the price went up.
02:06 When they asked why the price went up,
02:07 I will say that it's because the price went up.
02:09 I need to add more, even just a little bit,
02:12 so that others can buy.
02:15 It's cheaper to buy eggs at Php 10 if you're doing wholesale
02:18 or if you're buying six trays.
02:20 Egg retailers in Batangas City New Market
02:24 are also trying to increase the price of their eggs.
02:26 They increased the price of eggs by Php 5 per tray.
02:28 The delivery of eggs to some places is limited.
02:31 To give other retailers a chance to deliver,
02:33 the suppliers are giving out separate orders.
02:36 The suppliers explained to them that it's the calling season.
02:39 The Philippine Egg Board Association said
02:42 that they are experiencing poor production of eggs.
02:45 Many stopped producing eggs.
02:46 It became painful because some lost their eggs.
02:48 The number of eggs lost is decreasing.
02:50 The egg industry has been losing eggs for a long time.
02:54 With a small amount of capital,
02:56 the cost of production increased,
02:57 but the number of eggs lost.
02:58 According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
03:01 the farm gate price is still at Php 6.20,
03:06 even though the egg production decreased.
03:08 The bad industry of agriculture or sinag is positive
03:12 and the egg supply and price will remain stable until December.
03:16 That is the news.
