00:00Let's do a price check on the items you bought in the market before you add to cart this first month of the new year.
00:11One of the surprising items is tomatoes that reached Php400 per kilo, live from Marikina City. First news, EJ Gomez. EJ.
00:23Igan, we are here in Marikina City to check the current price of some of the items you bought after the holiday season.
00:36And here, the price of some vegetables is still high. Pork is still expensive, while chicken is a bit cheaper than before.
00:48For those planning to saute and need some vegetables like tomatoes, the budget needs to be checked.
00:58The price went up to Php360 per kilo for some items in Metro Manila based on the monitoring of the Agriculture Department.
01:07That's higher than the price before the new year, and it's almost the same as the price of a kilo of pork.
01:14Here in Marikina Public Market, tomatoes are sold for Php400 per kilo, while chilies are sold for Php1,200 per kilo.
01:24Green chilies are Php600 per kilo, while bell peppers are Php1,000 per kilo.
01:31Carrots are now Php160 per kilo, compared to Php80 before.
01:37The prices of vegetables are going up. There's a lot of time, and there's a lack of time.
01:44Meanwhile, the price of sayote has dropped to Php80, compared to Php120 before.
01:50The price of pork has increased from Php20 to Php70.
01:56Each kilo of pork is now Php360 to Php380.
02:00Ribs are now Php320, while pork chop is now Php320.
02:06For those who travel, and for those who use gasoline, the price of meat will automatically increase.
02:13They say that their income is affected because the buyers prefer cheaper frozen meat over fresh meat.
02:20Ani said that the price of pork has decreased for their grilling business.
02:26It's still not decreasing. It's still high.
02:28It's really affected.
02:30What do you mean by business?
02:32It's too much. They earn very little.
02:35Meanwhile, the price of whole breast chicken has dropped from Php10 to Php20 per kilo,
02:42compared to Php190 before, which is now Php220.
02:46Choice cuts, on the other hand, can be bought for Php220 from the previous Php230.
02:52Because the holiday season is over, so it's like that.
02:56The supply is okay.
02:59As of now, it's still a bit hard to choose.
03:05We are working hard to get the statement of the Agriculture Department
03:16regarding the increase in the price of some goods here in the market.
03:21According to the vendors we talked to,
03:23they don't seem to be able to say when their prices will start to go down.
03:29From Marikina City, EJ Gomez, for GMA Integrated News.
03:35Igan, you are the first in the news.
