00:00 They are stealing or just stashing the excess cabbage on the side of the road
00:06 that the traders are asking for.
00:08 The local government of Trinidad and Benguet is asking for it
00:12 because there is no oversupply there.
00:14 We have first news from Mark Salazar.
00:17 That's not a vegetable farm.
00:22 That's on the side of Kilometer 21 in Tublay, Benguet
00:25 where they just stashed a lot of cabbage.
00:28 Anyone can pass by and get free cabbages as much as they want.
00:33 The farmers are also giving free cabbages from the truck.
00:36 Five tons of vegetables came from Benguet
00:40 that were at the house of Lynette Bernardo in Marikina.
00:44 She rescued these from a farmer friend
00:47 who stole the cabbages from Metro Manila
00:51 because the traders in Benguet don't want to get them.
00:54 I can't stand it. They haven't eaten yet.
00:58 They don't have toll gates.
01:00 They're crying.
01:01 They don't have gas.
01:02 They don't have money for the truck.
01:04 Many of these vegetables have gone through a lot of hardships.
01:07 They were denied in Balintawak and Divisoria.
01:10 They were stolen in Taguig and Pasig.
01:12 They were returned but they were still sold in Tarlac and Pangasinan.
01:16 Before this, they approached me.
01:18 The first time they approached me, they threw it away.
01:21 I felt like I was being consensual.
01:27 Lynette only has three to four days
01:30 before the rescued vegetables are rotten and wasted.
01:33 That's why she posted the story that some have read.
01:37 Since our vegetables are oversupplied,
01:40 this will be a big help if we can buy just a little
01:45 and it will really help them.
01:46 We will try to encourage our community.
01:50 But the LGU of La Trinidad says
01:53 there is no oversupply of vegetables from Benguet.
01:56 What they notice is the decrease in buyers from Manila and other places.
02:02 The importation of vegetables is also affected
02:07 especially carrots and other vegetables that enter our country.
02:14 Because the buyers don't go to Akyat here in Benguet
02:18 because they have a supply in Manila.
02:23 The Provincial Board of Benguet is discussing
02:26 if there is a mistake in the estimate of the number of vegetables to be planted and harvested during Christmas.
02:32 The GMA Integrated News is contacting the Department of Agriculture
02:36 to answer questions about what is happening to the supply chain of vegetables.
02:41 In Dalaguete, Cebu, these vegetables are also being given for free.
02:46 According to the uploader, a message reached him
02:49 who is behind the supply of vegetables and clarified that there is no oversupply.
02:54 These are rejected vegetables
02:56 and cannot be brought to other places because they will just rot.
03:01 They bought these from the farmers as help.
03:04 This is the first news.
03:05 Mark Salazar for GMA Integrated News.
