00:00The price of tomatoes in the market has reached Php 200 per kilo.
00:03How will we sell it and the onions in the Blue Man Trade Market?
00:07We have first live news with James Agustin. James.
00:16Sam, good morning. The price of onions in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila has remained low.
00:20But the bad news for our fellow voters is that the price of tomatoes has increased.
00:26That's why they are now discarding it to save money.
00:30Red onions can be bought for Php 120 per kilo while white onions can be bought for Php 100 per kilo in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila.
00:40The price has been low for several months now because there is a lot of supply.
00:44The Department of Agriculture has extended the ban on the importation of red onions until August.
00:49They say that the inventory of onions is sufficient.
00:52On the other hand, those who sell onions favor it.
00:56It's okay if the onions are still like this and not imported.
01:00First of all, this is tastier compared to the imported ones.
01:06Even if it's cheaper, it's still easier to sell.
01:11Elisabeth bought 1 kilo of red onions.
01:14She hopes that the price will not increase because it's expensive to buy.
01:19It's better because we need it every day.
01:23For vegetables, it's cheap now.
01:27It's better.
01:28Because we cook.
01:31It's better for us.
01:33The price of tomatoes that can be bought for Php 160 to Php 200 per kilo has increased.
01:38Php 40 per kilo is higher compared to the first week of the month.
01:43We don't know.
01:44We also got it from a supplier.
01:47It's been two weeks.
01:49How did it happen?
01:51It's hard.
01:52You can buy it in pieces because it's expensive.
01:54Some people save money.
01:55Because it's expensive, some people choose to save money.
01:58Three pieces of tomatoes were bought by Tizel.
02:01She will use it to cook pork sinigang.
02:04Of course, I was surprised.
02:06Because you don't have anything to eat.
02:11Because it's so expensive.
02:12You have to add more.
02:14That's the only way to make it delicious.
02:17How do you divide it?
02:18Just divide it.
02:21Marvin's sinigang doesn't use tomatoes anymore.
02:24It's too expensive, sir.
02:26You can use other sour foods that are cheaper.
02:29For example, you can buy Kamyas that are cheaper.
02:33Let's go with that, sir.
02:35At least, we can save money.
02:41Meanwhile, Susan, in other vegetables, the price of eggplants and carrots has increased.
02:46The price of bitter gourd and pechay has decreased.
02:50That's the first news from Manila.
02:52I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
03:15Thanks for watching.
