00:00 Meanwhile, the prices of vegetables have increased in the market. Some of them have doubled.
00:05 And from Manila, we have the first news live.
00:08 EJ Gomez. EJ, why did the prices of vegetables increase?
00:12 Ivan, to our fellow countrymen who love to cook and eat vegetables,
00:22 you may be forced to buy some, especially those who are saving, to avoid buying.
00:30 The prices of vegetables have really increased.
00:32 Vegetables that are used in cooking, like the Filipino chop suey and pakbet.
00:38 Each kilo of vegetables here in Paco Market is equivalent to 1 kilo of pork or chicken.
00:49 Judith, who goes to the market every day, has a plan to cook that requires some vegetables.
00:55 She was surprised to learn the prices of vegetables here in Paco Market in Manila.
01:00 This is too much.
01:02 Just think, I won't just cook vegetables.
01:06 I'll just cook something else.
01:08 Because, wow, pechay, potatoes, chili, almost everything.
01:13 EJ, how much is it now? 200 plus?
01:16 I'll just cook 200 plus for 1 kilo.
01:21 According to some vendors, the prices of locally imported vegetables have increased.
01:25 The prices are over and over.
01:27 Tagalog is expensive. Baguio is expensive.
01:31 When it comes to imported vegetables, they also increase the prices because they are copying.
01:41 The price of carrots has doubled from 60 pesos per kilo to 100 pesos now.
01:47 The same goes for squash, which used to cost 30 pesos, but now it's 60 pesos.
01:52 Broccoli, which used to cost 120 pesos, now costs 350 pesos per kilo.
01:58 The same goes for cauliflower, which used to cost 120 pesos, but now it's 250 pesos per kilo.
02:05 The price of mustard has tripled from 300 pesos to 300 pesos now.
02:09 The price of pechay, which used to cost 60 pesos, has now tripled to 300 pesos per kilo.
02:16 According to some vendors, one of the reasons why their travelers are short in supplies is because of the lack of supplies.
02:21 Because there's no supply. All the vegetables have increased.
02:25 All the baguio, pechay, cabbage, beans, everything has increased.
02:31 Because the supply is low now.
02:34 One day, I bought one box, but they only gave me 5 kilos.
02:39 The people who will buy it said that they can't do anything.
02:42 We can't do anything. That's the price they give us. It's budgetary.
02:47 Ivan, meanwhile, there's no increase in the price of water spinach, squash, and chili leaves.
02:59 Each baguio is still 10 pesos. According to some vendors we talked to earlier,
03:04 they are worried that the prices of vegetables that have increased may increase even more during the rainy season.
03:12 If that happens, they will earn a lot of money.
03:17 Here's the first news from Paco, Manila. EJ Gomez for JMA Integrated News.
