00:00The price of vegetables and fish in Manila has been affected by the recent typhoon.
00:04Some vegetables have more than doubled their price.
00:08The price check in the Bloomin' Treat Market.
00:10In the first news, live from Bam Alegre.
00:13Bam.
00:17Egan, good morning.
00:18We ate vegetables and fish.
00:20That's what we should have bought to be healthy.
00:22But it seems expensive to be healthy
00:25because the price of vegetables and fish in the Bloomin' Treat Market in Manila has increased a lot.
00:35Vegetables' trip to Metro Manila has been affected by the recent typhoon.
00:39Vegetable sellers here in the Bloomin' Treat Market in Manila are very expensive.
00:43That's why it's expensive for them to send the vegetables and fish to their buyers after the small growth.
00:47For example, eggplant used to cost Php 80 per kilo.
00:49Now, it's Php 180.
00:51Tomatoes used to cost Php 80 per kilo.
00:53Now, it's Php 200.
00:55Cabbage used to cost Php 80 per kilo.
00:57Now, it's Php 140.
00:59Bitter gourd used to cost Php 100 per kilo.
01:01Now, it's also Php 140.
01:02Even bell pepper used to cost Php 150 per kilo.
01:06Now, it's Php 300.
01:08It's expensive.
01:09It's because of the typhoon.
01:11When the typhoon hit,
01:13our farmers' harvest increased.
01:16That's why we increased our prices here.
01:19It's the same situation with fish.
01:20No one can expand because of the typhoon.
01:22Supply is decreasing and demand is increasing.
01:24The price of fish is still the same.
01:27But it's price is decreasing.
01:29For example, the smelly fish from Bulacan costs Php 100 per fish.
01:33Now, it's still Php 100.
01:35But instead of Php 10, it's just Php 7 per fish.
01:38It's the same situation with salmon.
01:39Php 7 per fish costs Php 100.
01:42Before, it's Php 10 per fish.
01:44It's expensive.
01:46What did the suppliers say, sir?
01:48No one can get fish because of the typhoon.
01:53Jovie Esperanza doesn't know how to manage her budget in the market.
01:57If there's no need for other vegetables,
02:05if there's an option of cheaper vegetables,
02:08the other vegetables...
02:09What do you do?
02:10Is it hard to manage your budget now?
02:12For now, it's really hard.
02:15Especially when I'm working alone.
02:17Do you think the prices will go up during Christmas?
02:21Yes, it will go up.
02:29This is a good reference point for the prices of the first-time buyers.
02:33This is the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture
02:35on their official website.
02:37This is the first news from the Blue Moon Trade Market.
