00:00The demand for chicken from some families in Metro Manila has increased.
00:04How about the price? If it also increased, live from Manila,
00:08here's the news, James Balutin.
00:11James.
00:15Maris, good morning.
00:16In the middle of the high price of pork meat from chicken families,
00:20some of our beloved ones are buying to save money and get into their budget.
00:26Here, Maris, in Blumen Street Market in Manila,
00:28the price of each kilo of chicken has decreased.
00:33The price of chicken has increased to Php 400 per kilo
00:37while the price of pork meat in Blumen Street Market in Manila is Php 340 per kilo.
00:43So, as an alternative, some families are buying chicken.
00:47The price of chicken has decreased to Php 185 per kilo.
00:51It's lower than Php 195 per kilo last week.
00:56When it comes to choice cuts like chicken breast and breast, it's Php 190 per kilo
01:01while chicken wings are Php 200 per kilo.
01:04It's lower than Php 10 per kilo compared to last week.
01:08The price of chicken is not stable.
01:11Sometimes, the price of chicken is low and sometimes, it's high.
01:14But last week, why was it high?
01:17Of course, the chicken is small.
01:18And then, summer passed, right?
01:21So, many chickens died.
01:24Three chickens were bought.
01:26They reduced the number of chickens with pork meat
01:29so that it can be included in the budget.
01:32So that the price can be reduced.
01:36Because pork is expensive.
01:38The price of pork has increased.
01:39The price of pork has increased to more than Php 40 per kilo.
01:44What do you cook with the chicken now?
01:46Tinola, rito, and usual dishes.
01:51Cristina also has a restaurant in Tondo.
01:53She also sells dishes with pork.
01:56This is my adobo and chicken curry.
02:01I have fish and vegetables.
02:03That's the best.
02:06Because the people who buy from me are tricycle boys.
02:10I'm just there for the masses.
02:12According to the Department of Agriculture,
02:15mothers are looking for alternatives to pork.
02:18That's why the demand for chicken has increased.
02:21In the midst of high demand,
02:22it can sustain its supply.
02:29Meanwhile, Maris,
02:30some of the mothers we talked to
02:33have discarded frozen meat.
02:35They bought it because it's cheaper
02:37compared to fresh meat.
02:39That's the first news from Manila.
02:41I'm James Agustin for GME Integrated News.
