00:00Let's talk about the low prices of vegetables. Live from Marikina City, we have the first news, Bea Pinlac. Bea, what vegetables are cheap?
00:18Egan, good news for our vegetable lovers, the price of vegetables here in Marikina Public Market has dropped, just like carrots, broccoli, and baguio beans.
00:33In Ms. Loretta's market, chop suey is one of the vegetables she will prepare today. The price of baguio vegetables has dropped compared to December, so they can add more vegetables to their menu.
00:49We already gave a lot compared to before because it's expensive. We used to serve a lot.
00:57One kilo of tomatoes from P240 to P400 can now be bought for P70. P40 to P50 for baguio beans and P120 to P180 for broccoli.
01:12The price of each kilo of chayote has also dropped to P30, as well as the price of carrots from P90 to P100.
01:20The price of some Tagalog vegetables has also dropped, but...
01:24The price of Tagalog is still high compared to baguio.
01:27Just like eggplant and bitter melon, the price of P120 to P130 has also dropped compared to the P150 to P200 price in December.
01:39But even though the price of some vegetables in the market has dropped, some people are still buying because they still can't afford the high price of other vegetables.
01:49I can't afford to buy vegetables for P500. Look, we can only afford this much.
01:54The price of tomatoes is still high.
01:57Even though the price of vegetables in the market has dropped, it's still expensive to buy. P1,000 is no longer worth it.
02:03Igan, here are some tips from our viewers.
02:05First, estimate how many vegetables you need per day.
02:09Second, adjust your meal of the day to vegetables with low prices.
