00:00 It's a tradition for Filipinos to put round fruits as a lucky charm for the new year.
00:07 Let's see how much it is.
00:09 In Divisoria, Manila, in Unang Balita Live with Darlene Cai.
00:13 Darlene, is the price of round fruits getting higher?
00:17 Susan, fruits are still cheap here in Divisoria.
00:24 You can still buy 10 pesos or 10 pesos for each piece, just like lemon and apple.
00:31 Aside from that, the number of buyers is still low.
00:34 So if you can see behind me, the streets are still empty and not crowded.
00:38 The streets of Carmen Planas in Divisoria, Manila are still empty,
00:46 where the vendors of different kinds of round fruits are.
00:51 There are still few buyers. One of them is Tatay Orlando.
00:55 He was lucky to buy fruits 6 days before the New Year's Eve in 2024.
01:00 He is here in Manila to celebrate Christmas with his son.
01:04 Before he went home to San Jose, Batangas, he went to Divisoria to buy fruits.
01:10 I only buy a few.
01:13 Some are old, the ones that are not rotten.
01:19 I buy those to reach the New Year.
01:23 Because if you buy it on the New Year, it's already expensive.
01:25 Based on the experience of the vendors here,
01:27 since December 28 or 29, the number of buyers started to decrease.
01:32 It's still a bit low, ma'am.
01:36 People are still on vacation.
01:39 So no one is buying yet.
01:42 But their supply is ready.
01:45 But the fruits are expensive now compared to last year.
01:50 Even the oranges, before it was only 1,3 pesos.
01:55 Now it's increasing to 1,5 or 1,6 pesos per tray.
01:59 That's why it's good to buy fruits now.
02:14 Susan, the stalls selling fruits here in Divisoria are open 24 hours a day.
02:20 Just like here in Carmen Planas.
02:23 So one tip that I can give to our viewers who will buy here,
02:27 go early in the morning or late at night to avoid the crowds.
02:33 That's the first news here in Divisoria, Manila.
02:35 I am Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
