00:00 It is possible that the sale of onions online will be affected by the income of farmers and sellers in the market.
00:07 That is why a congressman is worried about the price of onions online.
00:13 Sujin Kim has the details in this report.
00:15 Hilda goes to the market every Sunday.
00:21 She wants to buy food and products physically so that she can meet the needs of her family.
00:28 But if it is cheaper than online, it is okay even if she does not go through inspection and regulation, as long as it is cheap and affordable in her budget.
00:36 For us consumers, it is a favor because it is cheap, especially for us mothers, our budget. We are also saving.
00:45 Because of the hard life, where it is cheaper, she will buy there so that she can meet other needs.
00:52 Some sellers in the market cannot avoid worrying. They will lose money because online selling is clearly competitive.
01:01 For Monte, who sells vegetables in Pasay City Market, the income is reduced because of online customers who buy because it is cheap.
01:11 Like the Online Onions For Sale, it is around 20 to 25 pesos per kilo.
01:17 It is saddening because the online price is low and for us it is high. We are lacking in many things.
01:27 For Congressman Wilbert Lee, it is necessary to regulate or ensure that the onions and food products come from the legitimate distributor
01:35 because it is possible to be harmful to the health of a person.
01:39 The onions that can be bought online do not go through phytosanitary inspection, especially if it is smuggled or illegally imported to the country.
01:48 Lee admitted that the Online Onions For Sale should support the sellers, but if they sell illegally, they should be fined and punished.
01:58 I cannot blame the sellers. The people who buy here, online selling can help them buy at a low price.
02:10 But we want to regulate it and ensure that it is not a health hazard.
02:16 According to the Bureau of Plant Industry Director Glenn Panganiban, it will not be easy to monitor online sellers,
02:23 but they have a whole heart to take action on the problem.
02:27 Our internet and social media are damaged. It is hard to regulate.
02:34 We need to be more careful because while there are no samples, this was voiced out even to the lower house and even the Senate.
02:44 It is still going on.
02:46 Their coordination with various agencies is still ongoing to verify the import clearance and distribution permit of the sellers.
02:54 The House Resolution 1600 or the Resolution Against Smuggled or Illegal Onions was already submitted to the committee.
03:02 The hearing on this was also scheduled.
03:05 The government is continuing its efforts to support the local farmers to return their livelihoods and income.
