00:00 The price of goods is so high that you might get a headache.
00:05 According to the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI,
00:10 this year, people need to save more because manufacturers have issued a petition
00:17 to raise the price of the first-hand goods in the country.
00:23 For example, the price of garlic is now playing at P150 to P180 per kilo.
00:32 What about sautéing? What if the garlic is lost?
00:37 But our good news is that you can grow garlic for consumption or for business.
00:47 It's easier to earn money. You can plant it in water.
00:53 No farm, no problem.
00:56 It's big. It's tall.
01:01 I'll make another one.
01:04 It's like this.
01:09 Hydroponic planting has been noticed by social media in the past few days.
01:14 It's a good thing because it's an answer to save and grow from the rising prices of vegetables and fruits.
01:21 It has been 10 days. The third and fourth leaves have come out. So it's time to transplant.
01:28 The main point here is that planting is really water.
01:31 Unlike traditional planting, hydroponic is easier because there's less hassle, less food and it's tiring.
01:38 Here it is.
01:43 Here in Santa Rosa, Laguna, we met 70-year-old Nanay Olimpia.
01:49 She says that she and her family are now living off of her.
01:54 According to her, the price of garlic in their life has dropped to the sky.
02:02 She's going to sell her crops.
02:05 We planted garlic that day. We were able to build a house and a well.
02:11 I have two children. We planted garlic that day in December so that we can plant it in March until April.
02:18 That's why if this is not the time, she's doing it so that the supply of garlic won't run out.
02:26 What else? Hydroponic planting.
02:30 The reason why we put garlic in water is so that it will sprout and root.
02:36 It's easier to grow garlic in water than on the ground. We put it in sinigang or vegetables that are sauteed.
02:42 In the soil, we sometimes use pesticides, fungicides.
02:46 Unlike hydroponics, we won't be using it anymore. Our crops are safe there.
02:51 Good news! Because of Nanay Olimpia, we have garlic planting 101.
02:56 Just prepare plastic bottles, water, and the garlic you will plant.
03:03 We will put water in one of the cups so that we can put the garlic in it.
03:08 The bottom part of the garlic should be submerged in water so that it won't rot and die.
03:15 In a few days or a week, we will see the leaves coming out.
03:20 We will press each one of the garlic so that it will sprout and we can plant it.
03:28 When your garlic has roots, you can transfer it to the ground or a pot so that it will sprout.
03:34 See? You can earn money from it and make it a supply in the kitchen.
03:40 But for Jo, who is already 44 years old, garlic is a big help to her health.
03:48 She has been preparing for five years for her headache due to migraine.
03:53 Her work in the factory is affected.
03:57 When I have a migraine, I can't go to work.
04:01 She also has a headache because her bleeding is severe in December when there is a month of winter.
04:09 Someone advised her to eat garlic.
04:13 Jo was also researched about the health benefits of garlic.
04:17 It's really good for our body.
04:19 Actually, garlic is one of the 10 medicinal plants approved by the Department of Health.
04:26 It has a beneficial effect for hypertension or high blood pressure.
04:30 But of course, there are others that use garlic for the benefit of the human body.
04:35 Jo's work in garlic is simple.
04:38 We will peel the garlic.
04:40 After peeling, we will put it in a clean jar.
04:44 After putting it in the jar, she will also add vinegar.
04:47 The level of garlic is the same as the level of vinegar so that it will be even.
04:51 And it is being ground for up to two days.
04:55 Until my meal time, for example, my lunch,
04:57 I will put four cloves of garlic in my intake.
05:01 Garlic has a vasodilatory effect.
05:04 So what it does is it improves the blood flow.
05:07 Regarding menstrual health, garlic also has beneficial uses.
05:12 Because it can regulate the hormones of women like estrogen and progesterone.
05:17 When I had a little glow, my migraine didn't attack me anymore.
05:22 I noticed that my menstruation was normal for only two to three days.
05:27 But the expert reminds us not to rely on garlic to cure the disease.
05:32 The best thing to do when you have a feeling,
05:36 you need to consult your doctor.
05:38 Once you consult your doctor, we will know the cost.
05:41 You will be given the right management.
05:44 In this time where many Filipinos are short of budget,
05:49 why not try new ways of farming?
05:52 You will save money.
05:54 You will be healthier.
