00:00At the same time, during the time of love,
00:04the love of some crops,
00:07and it is possible that it will continue
00:10while Christmas is approaching,
00:12Bernadette Rey pointed out.
00:18Some families were inspected by the officials
00:21of the Department of Agriculture
00:22less than two weeks before Christmas.
00:25According to the DA,
00:26although the prices of the main crops are stable now,
00:29noticeably, some have gone up.
00:31In Pasay Public Market, for example,
00:33390 pesos for a kilo of liempo,
00:36320 pesos for a kasib.
00:38Selling is more expensive,
00:39especially since there are still problems
00:41with African swine fever.
00:43The whole chicken is 200 pesos,
00:45while 220 pesos for a kilo of choy scots.
00:48They said that the prices are starting to go up
00:50in the farm.
00:51We are also complaining.
00:53Of course, we will choose the cheap ones.
00:56At P175 pesos, we will choose the big ones.
01:02For now, it's Christmas.
01:04I think we cannot stop the prices
01:07from going up a bit,
01:09especially when there is
01:11an ASF on pork.
01:13But earlier, I saw bangus and tilapia.
01:16Actually, the prices are right.
01:18The live tilapia is P140,
01:20the bangus is P170.
01:22That's right.
01:23Unfortunately, I didn't see
01:24the imported fish earlier.
01:27So, it looks like we are short
01:29in galunggong.
01:31The price of eggs is not moving
01:33in the Pasay Public Market,
01:34but it went up in some families.
01:36We are just happy
01:37so that all of them,
01:39all of us who are supplying,
01:41can get it.
01:42When the price went down 6 months ago,
01:45and the people who sell eggs went bankrupt,
01:48they cut their layers
01:50so that they can sell
01:52and earn money.
01:53Now, the demand is increasing
01:56because of Christmas.
01:58As for the layers,
01:59they are just now importing
02:01hatching eggs
02:03to lay.
02:05So, maybe by February,
02:07it will go down again.
02:09According to the Department of Agriculture,
02:11the price of agricultural products
02:13cannot be avoided during Christmas
02:15because of the increasing demand.
02:17But the Ministry of Agriculture
02:19is talking to market vendors.
02:21I think the price now is like this.
02:23It should not go up
02:25because it is almost peak.
02:27I think, right?
02:29If there is an increase,
02:30it should be just 5%.
02:31But I think,
02:32it is like this.
02:33It is a bit high.
02:35The buyers
02:36just have to discard
02:37so that the budget can fit
02:39this Christmas and the new year.
02:41For example, for spaghetti,
02:42it is just half a kilo.
02:43If there are canned goods,
02:45I cook it.
02:46If there is, but if there is not,
02:47I don't.
02:48If Christmas is still long,
02:49I buy little by little
02:51so that when Christmas comes,
02:53it will not be heavy.
