00:06 It's sad to see the price of onions rising in the Blue Man Tread market.
00:11 So some people are buying onions to save money.
00:15 And live from Manila, we have the first news.
00:17 James Agustin. James, how many kilos are there now?
00:25 Ivan, the price of red onions is now at Php 180 per kilo.
00:30 It's still high here in the Blue Man Tread market in Manila.
00:32 It's now Php 20 higher than last week.
00:36 The price of red onions in the Blue Man Tread market in Manila is now at Php 180 per kilo.
00:45 It's higher than Php 160 last week.
00:49 The sellers say that the price will be higher for the next two months.
00:52 We got a higher price from the supplier.
00:55 But the imported onions are coming.
01:00 It's a bit low.
01:01 Because of the high price, the sellers are discarding the onions to save money.
01:06 Ramon, who has a grocery store in Sampaloc, is buying only half a kilo.
01:10 We can't stop the price.
01:12 Wherever we go, the price is the same.
01:15 We can only cook a few onions, like pork neck.
01:21 If we use four onions, sometimes we can only cook two or three.
01:25 That's why we're saving money.
01:28 The price of red onions without the skin and the skin is now cheaper.
01:32 It's now Php 140 per kilo.
01:35 That's why it's a hit in some markets.
01:37 If you buy this, you can buy three.
01:41 If you buy three, you can buy five, ten, or twenty.
01:46 It depends on how much you cook.
01:49 It's really expensive.
01:51 We only put a few onions.
01:53 If we put a lot, it's expensive.
01:56 But it's delicious if we put a lot of onions in our dishes.
01:58 But now, we're reducing the amount.
02:01 Yes, we're reducing the amount.
02:02 The imported white onions are still the lowest price.
02:06 Php 100 per kilo since Php 120 last week.
02:11 But the local white onions sellers can't get enough supply.
02:15 The Department of Agriculture said that
02:18 our country will have a high demand for 17,000 metric tons of red onions
02:22 so that it can be enough for this holiday season.
02:26 It's good news because our local onions will be sold low.
02:32 Last year, the demand was high.
02:36 Last year, the demand was up to Php 700.
02:38 Ivan, according to the sellers,
02:44 the red onions sold the least in the market
02:47 is the red onions with gaiyatna.
02:49 You can buy that for Php 10 or Php 20
02:52 depending on the budget of our beloved Mami Mili.
02:56 That's all for now from Manila.
02:58 I'm James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
