00:00 The price of onions in some families in Metro Manila is no longer a cry for joy.

00:06 Based on the latest price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,

00:11 the price of red onions per kilo is 60 pesos.

00:14 The imported red onions are 90 pesos per kilo.

00:18 For white onions, the price of local variants is 60 pesos per kilo

00:24 while the imported ones are 80 pesos per kilo.

00:26 Is that why the price of onions in the Blue Mantril Market in Manila is so cheap?

00:31 Let's find out in the first live news of James Agustin.

00:34 Good morning, son.

00:41 It's true that onions are cheap to buy in families nowadays,

00:43 but the smuggled onions online has become a trend.

00:47 That's why a judge wants to investigate this.

00:54 Red onions can be bought for 100 pesos per kilo

00:57 while white onions are 80 pesos per kilo here in the Blue Mantril Market in Manila.

01:02 The price is the same if there's no skin.

01:04 Suppliers are getting low prices,

01:07 that's why onions are cheap to buy for more than a month.

01:10 It's true, we're both smugglers because a lot of people sell.

01:15 We're neighbors.

01:16 How do you get your income?

01:18 It depends. You need to be able to sell your goods quickly to sell them well.

01:27 Smuggled onions are another thing that's making them look for a way to buy cheaper online.

01:33 That's why AgriParty's representative, Wilbert Lee,

01:36 wants to investigate smuggled onions and other possible agricultural products that are sold online.

01:43 He says it affects the livelihood of farmers and there's a risk of it affecting the health of the people who buy.

01:49 It's better to buy in the market because they can see what they're buying.

01:53 Online, they might buy rotten.

01:55 Even the people who buy in the market that we talked to,

01:58 they say they prefer to buy onions in the market than online.

02:01 Like Ms. Evalina who goes to the market three times a week.

02:05 I prefer to go to the market than online because I'm sure that I won't get sick.

02:12 Andy buys onions every day because he has a sense of conscience.

02:17 Go to the market because you're sure.

02:20 Online is hard because it's rotten.

02:24 Meanwhile, Susan, even though the price of onions is cheap,

02:31 it's still cheap for the consumers of smuggled onions.

02:37 That's the first news from Manila. I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
