00:00The Department of Agriculture hopes that the price of red and white onions will go down
00:05due to the current situation and possibly, there is no need to raise the maximum suggested retail price.
00:12The statement was made by the Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Agribusiness, Marketing and Consumer Affairs,
00:18Genevieve Velicaria Guevara.
00:21Following the suggestion of some groups to include onions in the MSRP,
00:26Guevara also clarified that they no longer need to include MSRP in products with low prices.
00:33As of March 10, the price of local red onions in Metro Manila is Php 70 per kilo to Php 180
00:41while the local white onions are Php 60 to Php 150 per kilo.
