00:00It's a shame for those who are buying the high price of each kilo of onions and those who will continue with the group of fried rice.
00:08Maximum suggested retail price for onions to cover the high price.
00:13Darlene Cai got it right.
00:18It's a shame to cut onions.
00:21But Janice is not yet cutting, she's already crying.
00:25At a price of Php 180 per kilo in Kamuning Market in Quezon City.
00:29That's why she's only buying a few pieces.
00:32Just one, right?
00:35As long as there are onions, you don't need to make sauce.
00:40Ariel's shop has nothing to do with the high price given to them by the supplier.
00:44Maybe it's just a little, that's why it's rising.
00:47It's just a little, because others are already wet.
00:50That's why we wrap it, worth Php 30, Php 50.
00:54They will buy the ones that are already wrapped, worth Php 30.
00:57They will use it for one or two dishes.
01:00In the last price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture in Metro Manila,
01:04each kilo of red onions reached Php 200.
01:07And Php 90 to Php 140 per kilo of white onions.
01:12It's very far from what farmers in Bungabu, Nueva Ecija are saying,
01:17the farm gate price or their sales.
01:20Php 60 to Php 80 per kilo of red onions and Php 48 per kilo of white onions.
01:33According to one onion farmer there,
01:35they don't have that many plants.
01:37And the plants were damaged by the next typhoon last year.
01:50Maybe in the first week of March.
01:52In Cebu City, each kilo of red onions reached Php 200
01:56and Php 130 per kilo of white onions.
01:59Their supply came from Batangas.
02:02For the whole industry of agriculture or sinag,
02:05MSRP or Maximum Suggested Retail Price for onions should be increased.
02:10Each kilo of red onions should be Php 120 and Php 90 per kilo of white onions.
02:18If the price is not set, the price can go up.
02:24There's no limit.
02:29You can't go to retailers or wholesalers because the price is not set.
02:37GMA Integrated News is getting the DA's opinion on this.
02:41But they first said that the price of onions is expected to go down next week
02:47when the price of onions reached the market and the number of local farmers increased.
02:53For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
