00:00 Even though bread is the favorite breakfast, the prices have also risen.
00:07 According to the Association of Filipino Bakers, it is possible that the prices will rise again as Christmas approaches.
00:16 Clayzel Pardilla, for Central Nang Balita, live.
00:19 Yes, Angelic. The prices of some types of bread in some bakeries have already increased.
00:27 And it is expected that some community bakeries will increase their sales next month or holiday season.
00:34 No matter where you go, your father will bring his senior citizen card to get a discount.
00:43 And to save money, he uses it when he buys bread.
00:48 The price is really important. Yes, the discount.
00:53 If you tell him that you can eat this, he will pay you a lot.
00:59 One month before Christmas, the price of bread in some bakeries like this store in Manila has increased.
01:07 Because our ingredients are high, eggs, sugar, flour.
01:13 Before, we sold this for P18.00. We spent P2.00 on that. We sold empanada, toasted siopao, and pandesal for P50.00 each.
01:26 According to the Association of Filipino Bakers, there are still some bakeries that are still able to reduce the price of ingredients
01:35 and use it to make bread like eggs, margarine, potatoes, and LPG.
01:42 But because of the high operating cost in the business, it is possible to sell some types of bread that are sold every Christmas.
01:51 This is what makes it difficult for us now.
01:55 This can be the reason for the price of their bread to increase.
02:02 The increase in water, electricity, rental cost, and the repair of our equipment should be maintained properly
02:12 so that we won't have any problems, especially during Christmas.
02:17 According to the group, the price of cake can increase from P30.00 to P50.00.
02:24 P2.00 for empanada, and P50.00 for potato pandesal.
02:29 Rafi can discard the tradition of preparing cake whenever there is an occasion.
02:35 It's still good, but it's not that big. It's just right.
02:39 It's just for the family.
02:40 Sometimes, we just make it once a year.
02:42 It's just for the children.
02:44 It's not like that every day.
02:46 Angelic, the price of Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal didn't change.
02:53 Angelic?
02:54 In the past, when the ingredients became expensive, they would reduce the price of pandesal.
03:01 Is it possible for pandesal to decrease?
03:03 Maybe there's nothing left.
03:05 What do you think?
03:08 Yes, Angelic.
03:13 The pandesal is being discarded.
03:16 They are reducing the price of pandesal so that the price won't increase.
03:22 But Angelic, there are some types of bread or pastry that can't be made by some bakeries.
03:29 For example, round cake.
03:31 It has holes and it's hard to reduce because it's very visible and noticeable when you reduce the size.
03:40 So, some community bakeries are left with no choice if the price won't increase.
03:47 But they promise to reduce the price of other varieties, like pandesal.
03:55 They will reduce the price of the first-class bread, like cakes and ensaymada.
04:03 Angelic?
04:04 Okay. Thank you very much, Klezel Pardilla.
