00:00To make sure that the price of the fish will not go up this Christmas,
00:06some types of fish have been approved by the DA.
00:11But the plan to import vegetables affected by the supply
00:15did not continue.
00:16Glazer Pardilla is in the center of the news.
00:22The new potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables from Bukidnon
00:28were brought by the President's Expo in Pasay City.
00:31Many people supply from here.
00:33From Region 10 to Manila.
00:37If it's big, it's P120.
00:39Here, we only sell P80.
00:41Yes, so it's cheap.
00:43Despite the success in the agricultural sector of the next wave,
00:48according to the Department of Agriculture,
00:51vegetables from other countries no longer need to be imported.
00:55We really have to link the farmers to the market.
00:58There's a chance that we won't be able to import.
01:01The studies show that it's going down again.
01:04Whatever we do before we import,
01:07we have to study it well.
01:09The Department of Agriculture approved
01:12the additional import of more than 8,000 metric tons of frozen fish.
01:17It aims to reduce the supply of fish
01:22and the expected effect of the closed fishing season.
01:26According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:28fish such as galunggong, mackerel, and other small pelagic fish
01:32will be imported for the fourth quarter of 2024.
01:36It is expected to help reduce the price of fish.
01:41In addition, more than 1,000 metric tons of white onions
01:45were allowed to be imported for the holiday season.
01:48It looks like the yellow onions are not enough,
01:50so I have given an order to add just 1,000 tons.
01:55It cannot arrive after December 30,
01:58because I think that's enough
02:01because it will probably be harvested in February.
02:04The target of the additional supply of white onions
02:08is usually used by hotels and restaurants.
