00:00The government will increase the tonnage of onions next week.
00:05According to the Agriculture Department,
00:073,000 metric tons of red onions
00:11and 1,000 metric tons of white onions will be increased.
00:16And here in Balintawak Public Market,
00:18where our products are being sold,
00:20especially agricultural products,
00:22we can see that the supply of onions is high.
00:26Actually, the price of 1 kilo of red onions is about Php 150,
00:33while the price of white onions is about Php 95.
00:37To be honest, it's a bit low compared to the past,
00:41when there was a real increase.
00:43Now, let's find out from the buyers here
00:45what their reaction is to the plan to increase the price of onions
00:51so that the price will remain low for the families.
00:55Do you think the increase of onions will help to lower the price?
01:01Yes, it will help.
01:02How will it help?
01:04Because with the increase of onions,
01:09each Filipino will be able to supply.
01:11Won't the price of onions will be affected?
01:14Yes, it will be affected.
01:16How will it be affected?
01:18Because the price of onions used to be the same,
01:22but now, there will be competition.
01:24They will have to import onions.
01:26So, what do you think the buyers will buy?
01:29What they will buy is probably cheaper.
01:33The imported onions will be cheaper.
01:35So, if the imported onions will be cheaper,
01:36they will buy that?
01:37Yes.
01:38What about the locals?
01:39Maybe...
01:40They will...
01:41Yes.
01:42So, it's better to monitor the prices?
01:43Yes, we really need to monitor the prices.
01:45The prices should be equal
01:47so that the sellers of onions won't be deceived.
01:51Thank you for choosing what you're buying.
01:54So, that's the reaction of some of our countrymen
01:57regarding the government's plan
02:00to import tons of onions in the next two weeks.
02:06They say it's to keep the prices stable
02:08for the families before the price of onions rises again.
