00:00The price of groceries increased faster this October compared to last September.

00:05And one of the most affected is the next wave in the country.

00:09And Bernadette Reyes was able to talk.

00:15As expected during Burmond's,

00:17the price of groceries and services increased even faster as Christmas approaches.

00:23This October, the price of groceries increased by 2.3% compared to 1.9% last September.

00:29The first on the list to increase inflation is rice,

00:32as well as those who have new rents in their homes and for massages.

00:37Those who experienced a typhoon are affected by the price of groceries, especially food.

00:41If there's a typhoon, especially if it's a strong one and we're flooded,

00:47after that, there are items that really increase.

00:51The price of groceries is increasing, especially vegetables.

00:55Almost 6 billion pesos were spent by typhoons in agriculture.

01:00More than 4 billion pesos were spent on rice.

01:03Vegetables are also affected,

01:05but there are alternatives on how to get supplies according to the agri-department.

01:10We can see a 10-15% increase in the price of highland and lowland vegetables.

01:17And this will last normally for 1-2 weeks.

01:20Everything is expensive.

01:22You can see, even the peanuts used to cost P30, now it's P80 per kilo.

01:30Before, we used to sell for P80, P70.

01:33Now, it's P140, P130.

01:35Aside from the main groceries, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

01:39the price of some not-so-good items also started to increase.

01:44The incremental increase is very small.

01:46In some commodity outlets, the prices would be higher.

01:51It's better to buy earlier, before the season, because the price is lower.

01:56For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, for Tutok 24 Horas.
