00:00 Yes, we are here at the Commonwealth Market.
00:03 And of course, we have good news for you.
00:06 Because there are things that you can buy here that are cheaper.
00:09 And some of them are a bit more expensive.
00:11 Let's start with vegetables.
00:12 The squash used to be Php 40 to Php 50 per kilo.
00:16 Now, you can buy it for Php 60 to Php 70.
00:18 So it's now Php 10 to Php 20 more expensive.
00:21 The pecha used to be Php 100 to Php 110.
00:24 The cabbage from Php 100 to Php 120.
00:27 The tomatoes used to be Php 120 to Php 140 per kilo.
00:32 Meanwhile, the pork, the ribs used to be Php 250,
00:36 now reach Php 270 per kilo.
00:39 The chicken, Php 270 to Php 280, now has a Php 10 increase.
00:43 Meanwhile, the duck, from Php 240 to Php 250 per kilo.
00:48 The chicken also has an increase.
00:50 The whole and quarter leg from Php 140 to Php 160 to Php 170.
00:55 Meanwhile, the chicken from Php 170 to Php 180 has a Php 190 increase.
01:00 The meat has an increase of Php 10 to Php 20.
01:04 And this is also full of supply, of the law of supply and demand.
01:10 The price of rice is continuously rising,
01:14 the price cap is Php 41 to Php 45 to Php 47 per kilo.
01:19 That's the non-moving price.
01:21 So, let's find out from the sellers here.
01:24 This is Kuya, he's selling vegetables.
01:27 Kuya, how's the price of our vegetables?
01:29 Which one is decreasing?
01:31 The eggplant and bitter melon are decreasing.
01:34 How much are they decreasing?
01:35 Around Php 10 per kilo.
01:39 How about the Mami Mili?
01:41 Is it increasing or decreasing?
01:44 The price is decreasing because the price is high.
01:48 It's not profitable?
01:49 It's not profitable.
01:50 I thought the tomato price was decreasing, why is it still increasing?
01:54 Because our tomatoes are of different types.
01:57 The tomatoes you're selling are beautiful.
01:59 The cheap ones are small.
02:01 So, what are the suppliers telling you?
02:04 Why is the price still high for most of the vegetables?
02:08 Sometimes, the storm doesn't reach the provinces
02:12 because there's a storm.
02:14 That's their main reason.
02:16 Are they telling you that the crops are damaged?
02:22 No, they're not.
02:23 So, the storm is the problem.
02:26 So, that's one of the reasons.
02:27 Thank you, Kuya.
02:29 Why is the price of the tomatoes I'm telling you still high?
02:33 Why is it still high?
02:34 Because the tomatoes are of different types.
02:36 The tomatoes are big.
02:39 These are usually used for burgers.
02:43 That's why the price of vegetables like tomatoes is still high.
02:47 Kuya is selling meat.
02:50 You're increasing the price from P10 to P20 per kilo.
02:53 Why is pork still expensive?
02:55 Because there's no pork in Bisayas and Mindanao.
03:00 So, where is your supply from?
03:02 It's from Bulacan.
03:04 Bulacan?
03:05 All from Luzon.
03:06 Okay.
03:06 But Christmas is coming.
03:08 It's September, it's Christmas.
03:11 What do you see happening to the price of pork?
03:13 The price of pork is going up.
03:16 Oh, really?
03:17 Yes.
03:18 It's going up.
03:19 Are you sure that in the coming months,
03:22 there will be a supply from Bisayas and Mindanao
03:25 so that the price will go down?
03:26 No.
03:27 No?
03:28 We only know that it's only in Luzon.
03:31 In Nayut?
03:31 What's the reason?
03:32 There are still diseases.
03:33 The ASF?
03:34 They're still saying it's affected.
03:36 How's your sales?
03:38 It's slow.
03:39 It's slow?
03:40 Why?
03:40 The price of pork is going up.
03:42 What did the buyers say?
03:43 They're asking for a call.
03:45 We're also giving them money if they can.
03:50 If they can, but if not?
03:51 If not, then no.
03:53 So, what you're expecting is that
03:55 Christmas is coming,
03:57 especially during the holidays,
03:58 the price will go up.
03:59 How much do you think the price will go up?
04:03 Maybe, the pork will go up to P350.
04:05 It will go up to P400.
04:07 The pork?
04:08 Yes.
04:08 Oh, we won't be selling pork if that happens.
04:10 Okay.
04:11 So, that's what the sellers are saying.
04:15 Especially the pork.
04:17 Of course, they're preparing it
04:19 if there are occasions like Christmas,
04:20 before the holidays.
04:21 But the seller said that
04:23 if there's still no supply of pork
04:25 from Visayas and Mindanao,
04:27 they can see that the price will go up,
04:29 especially if Christmas is coming.
04:31 So, that's what the buyers and consumers
04:34 should be preparing
04:35 for the coming days.
04:37 So, that's it from the Commonwealth Market.
04:38 Let's go back to the studio.
04:40 Thank you, Sister Sus.
