00:00More than Php 3 million worth of white onions from China were fished in South Harbor in Manila
00:07because there is no permit and other documents.
00:10First news, Bernadette Reyes.
00:15A 40-foot container van full of white onions was loaded by the Bureau of Plant Industry or BPI
00:21in South Harbor in Manila.
00:23It weighs 25 metric tons and is worth Php 3.5 million.
00:27The onions came from China and entered the country without a proper sanitary and phytosanitary permit,
00:34import clearance, or a proven passage to the standards and safe to eat.
00:39According to the BPI, the import permit was issued for the lifting of 16,000 metric tons of white onions,
00:46but for it to be supplied in the month of September to December.
00:49We saw that they declared that there are yellow onions,
00:54but we don't issue yellow onions at that time, July.
00:59So we immediately reported it.
01:02We alerted the Bureau of Customs and they immediately issued a hold order.
01:09According to the Bureau of Plant Industry, the harvest season for onions will start again
01:14when January comes, so it is said that the lifted 16,000 metric tons of white onions will be enough
01:20for the upcoming holiday season.
01:22The store owner, Myla, said that it is a big help that there is an onion supply so that the price does not go up.
01:28Before, onions were expensive.
01:30So now, it's a good thing that we don't have a hard time when someone is looking for onions.
01:36In the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
01:38the price of imported white onions varies from Php 70 to Php 180.
01:44The local price is Php 90 to Php 140,
01:47while the red onion price is Php 75 to Php 140.
01:52In the holiday season, the price tends to increase.
01:56We are also pointing out that there is a supply,
01:58so they cannot increase or spike the price immediately.
