Now just outside the Pampanga capital, authorities have seized over 1.7 million paces worth of smuggled white onions
00:09
only to discover that they are contaminated with salmonella.
00:13
Now the Department of Agriculture, or DA, is warning the public,
00:17
think twice before buying those unusually large onions.
00:22
As our Noel Talacay tells us more.
00:24
Inside these two trailer trucks parked in front of Pampanga capital
00:31
are more than 3,000 sacks of smuggled white onion from China with an estimated worth of 1.7 million pesos.
00:40
According to the report of the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group of Pampanga,
00:45
it entered from Subic Port but was entrapped or caught in Mexico, Pampanga on April 26 this year.
00:52
Yung naka-declared po sa document niya ay chicken karagi chips.
00:57
So frozen meat yung nakalagay doon.
01:01
Pero yung karga ng truck nila is sibuyas po.
01:05
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr. personally inspected the stash this morning.
01:11
Maybe these sacks of onions look good on the surface and up close, but the secretary revealed,
01:17
Ang masama dito ay positive siya for microbiologicals, may salmonella.
01:22
Since these sacks of onions are not for consumption due to salmonella contamination,
01:27
the DA will instead dispose of them.
01:30
The agency also speculates that some of these sacks of onions have already proliferated in the public market
01:36
and have been distributed in Divisoria, Manila, and some public markets in Central Luzon,
01:41
according to the report of the PNPCIDG.
01:44
The DA secretary underscores that his agency did not issue any permit for imported white onions
01:50
since the country still has enough supply of onions.
01:53
He also stresses his office and the PNPCIDG will do everything in their power
01:59
to hold into account all persons involved in this smuggling incident.
02:03
Based on the latest daily price monitoring,
02:05
the current price of onions ranges from P90 up to P160 per kilo depending on size and quality.
02:13
From PTV Manila, Noel Talakay, Balitang Pambansa.
