00:00However, the price of fish is still high in some markets that, according to some sellers,
00:05are still affected by the typhoon Christine and Leon.
00:08Live from Pasig, EJ Gomez is the first news.
00:17However, the price of fish is still high after the next typhoon passed.
00:23Here in Pasig Megamarket, each kilo of galunggong has reached Php 300.
00:29That's why a group of fishermen are now pushing for price control for their type of fish.
00:39Two weeks ago, the price of fish in some markets was still high.
00:45According to some sellers in Pasig Megamarket,
00:47because of the effects of the typhoon Christine and Leon,
00:50the trucks carrying fish are not able to travel so the supply is limited.
00:54They are also selling fewer fish because the number of fishermen caught by the typhoon is low.
01:01Because of the typhoon Christine, two weeks ago, the price of fish is still high.
01:08Because of the lack of vehicles and the damage to the fishponds, that's why it's like that.
01:15What we are getting is a high price of galunggong.
01:19That's why we are selling it here at a high price.
01:21By September or October, the price of fish will be high.
01:29According to the group Pamalakaya or Pangbansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas,
01:34not only typhoons and fish prices are the reason for the increase in the price of fish in the market,
01:38but also there are some traders who are manipulating the price of fish in the market.
01:43The price of fish in the market is high even though the farm gate price of fish is low from the small fish.
01:51Here in Pasig Megamarket, the price of galunggong is around Php 300 per kilo,
01:56which is around Php 240 to Php 260 before the typhoons.
02:01The fish is Php 200 per kilo, which was only Php 170 before.
02:05The price of tilapia is also increased to Php 30 per kilo, which can be bought for Php 140.
02:11The price of lapulapu is increased to Php 60, which is now being sold for Php 420 per kilo.
02:17Traders say that if there will be a price control,
02:21they should make sure that the price of the fish they buy is reasonable so that they won't lose money.
02:27Sometimes we can get fish at a low price, sometimes at a high price.
02:31So if the price is low?
02:33We also sell fish at a reasonable price.
02:36Now, the price is really high.
02:38It's not like before when the price was Php 20 per kilo.
02:40Now, it's only Php 55 per kilo.
02:47According to the fish price control,
02:52we will try to get the statement of the Agriculture Department
02:55and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.
02:58When it comes to the sale of fish here in Pasig Megamarket,
03:01according to what we talked about the past few days,
03:04their sales have become more profitable.
03:08And that is the first news from Pasig City,
03:11EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
