00:00The price of some midnight snacks has gone up,
00:03including the round fruits that are believed to bring good luck in the new year.
00:09Tina Pang Niban Peret was able to talk about it.
00:11People are almost getting close to the pork stalls in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City this morning.
00:20Some people are already buying midnight snacks.
00:22What can be sold is pata.
00:24Because when you buy pata, it will break.
00:27The same goes for liempo and licheng kawali.
00:29What is the right thing to do when it breaks?
00:32Of course, when it breaks, it means it's expensive.
00:34The price of pork has also increased by P35 per kilo.
00:39But it's okay for Irene Demesa who bought 2 kilos.
00:44Her budget for midnight snacks is P5,000.
00:48It's good if you have a lot of blessings.
00:51The prices of fruit vendors have also gone up.
00:54Their suppliers have also gone up.
00:58Can it still be sold even if the prices go up?
01:00It's already P2,000.
01:02It's already P30,000.
01:04I don't know if it will be sold tomorrow.
01:06Maybe it will be sold tomorrow.
01:08People have been buying since the last hour.
01:10Jerry Pablo spent almost P800 on round fruits that are believed to bring good luck.
01:16We have been doing this for years, ma'am.
01:20We can do it one by one, ma'am.
01:22At least there's something on the table, ma'am.
01:24We know it's expensive, ma'am.
01:26But we can do it.
01:28Let's celebrate the new year.
01:30There are also people who buy gold coins and chocolates.
01:32A pack of 10 pieces is P20.
01:36Can it still be sold?
01:38Because?
01:40People still need it.
01:42Maybe it will go up.
01:44In Kamuning Market in Quezon City,
01:46the price of some vegetables has gone up.
01:50Some people are surprised by the price of some vegetables.
01:54For example, this bell pepper is P850 per kilo.
01:58Tomatoes,
02:00which are always included in our dishes,
02:04are essential for sautéing.
02:06It's P300 per kilo.
02:10Chili is P1,300 per kilo.
02:16If you want to save money,
02:19it's P20.
02:21That's why the people who buy
02:23are buying in small quantities.
02:25It's cheap, even before.
02:27Restaurants are selling in kilos.
02:29For example,
02:31for ordinary food,
02:33the highest price is half a kilo
02:35or one kilo.
02:37Were you surprised by the price?
02:39A bit.
02:41But I expected it because it's a holiday.
02:43It's really expensive.
02:45But for this, it's P480.
02:47It's just for sautéing.
02:49What will happen to Monica's budget
02:51if she also buys pork
02:53which is the cheapest,
02:55P320 per kilo?
02:57According to a seller,
02:59the price is still high.
03:01It's low compared to last year.
03:03It's around 60% to 70% off.
03:07In Laloma, Quezon City,
03:09customers are expected to arrive tomorrow.
03:11But some are already buying.
03:13To save money,
03:16Julie bought a head of pork.
03:18Maybe tomorrow,
03:20no one will buy anymore.
03:22This pork is fully booked
03:24for the new year,
03:26even if they increased the price
03:28from P1,000 to P1,500 per pork.
03:30It will increase tomorrow.
03:32It's really high.
03:34In order,
03:36we are fully booked.
03:38It's a tradition of the Filipinos
03:40to have pork for eating.
03:42Even if there's no money,
03:44once the money arrives,
03:46the money will come out.
03:48But she warns the customers
03:50not to trust online sellers.
03:52Don't use online
03:54because there are many scams.
03:56Yesterday,
03:58a customer came
04:00and deposited money
04:02through GCAS.
04:04When they confirmed,
04:06the seller
04:08couldn't contact them anymore.
