00:00No high prices until Christmas, that's the target of the trade department even if there are people who asked for a price increase.
00:06The NBI and NMIS, on the other hand,
00:09have left the facility without the right permit,
00:12where the value of frozen and exotic food products worth millions of pesos has been seen.
00:18Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
00:20The construction of this facility is registered and there is no permit to impact the food of this cold storage facility in Marilao, Bulacan.
00:31But when the NBI operatives entered,
00:35the frozen meat goods were all over the place.
00:42There is beef, kalapati, and peking duck.
00:45There are also frozen seafoods and exotic food that
00:49The products did not pass the proper inspection, which is why it is considered dangerous to human health.
00:55It can cause illness.
00:58Particularly in poultry products, the so-called bird flu, people can get infected.
01:05Second, there is also beef.
01:10So, foot and mouth disease.
01:15The value of the products reached P200 million.
01:20The NBI also noted that the beef did not pay the right amount.
01:24What our government is losing here is up to P120 million in taxes.
01:31The beef was seen to trace some transactions online.
01:35We intercepted a communication.
01:37It was offered to the intended clientele on their secret channel.
01:42That's where the transactions happened.
01:44Even if the NBI did not catch the person,
01:47they already arrested two Filipinos and a Chinese national.
01:52They are facing an accusation of agricultural smuggling.
01:55Because it was issued by a warrant before the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act,
02:01they will be punished if they are convicted.
02:05Under the new law, there is a bigger reclusion perpetua.
02:10And a fine of x10 or x5 of the amount.
02:17The Purchasing Prices were blamed by the Department of Trade and Industry
02:21for the inspection of the families in Valenzuela City.
02:25Suggested Retail Price, or SRP, is included in the Purchasing Prices
02:30of New Marolas Public Market and a Supermarket.
02:33Other products are even cheaper than SRP.
02:37And even if the manufacturers increased the prices,
02:40there is still no price increase in Sardinas, Pinoy Pandesal, and Pinoy Tasty.
02:44Although the DTI is not sure how much it will increase.
02:48If we can extend it to Christmas, of course, it's better for us to have no price increase.
02:52That's also what the buyers want.
02:55Save, save, don't shop first.
02:57Just do what you can.
02:59According to the DTI, now the bare mats are included
03:02if they learn to pay attention to the prices and supply of not-so-good items.
03:06But for now, there are no manufacturers increasing the prices.
03:11But Abigail is already preparing the budget.
03:14I already listed our budget for Noche Buena.
03:19Just get the cash that my son will give. That's all.
03:25These are for sale in December.
03:27So maybe they will submit their proposed prices this October.
03:32It depends on our assessment of the new prices that they will submit.
03:37If it's affordable.
03:38Maybe Valenzuela City LGU wants to keep the borders tight
03:43so that the pigs that may have African Swine Fever will not be able to enter Metro Manila.
03:49We pass through the geographic location of Valenzuela
03:53by major trucks.
03:55If we don't monitor our borders,
03:58it will spread quickly in Metro Manila.
