00:00Oh my! Vegetables! More than triple the price of some kinds of vegetables in Cebu City.
00:06That's the first live news of Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bisdak.
00:13Alan, why did the price of some kinds of vegetables go up?
00:16Good morning, Ivan, to the mothers and those who love to cook.
00:20Be careful with the utensils you will use because the price of vegetables has gone up.
00:30Those who will choose to increase the price of vegetables in the Carbon Public Market in Cebu City were surprised.
00:37First on the list is ginger.
00:39Before, it can be bought for Php60 to Php100 per kilo.
00:44Now, it can be bought for Php250 per kilo.
00:47According to the vendors, they are selling it from Baguio because there is no supply of ginger in Cebu.
00:54They think that this is the result of the experience of Il Ninio.
00:58The supply has gone down, sir. There is no sustain.
01:01This is the field. Their supply is only in Baguio, Manila.
01:05I'm shocked, sir. It's too expensive. No choice, no choice.
01:10No choice, okay?
01:12We just cook.
01:14Aside from ginger, the price of bell pepper also went up.
01:17Before, it can be bought for Php100 per kilo.

01:29Before, it can be bought for Php30 per kilo.
01:33Now, it can be bought for Php120 per kilo.
01:36Before, it can be bought for Php20 per kilo.
01:40Now, it can be bought for Php100 per kilo.
