00:00The price of pork has reached 400 pesos per kilo, live from Marikina City, EJ Gomez has the first news.
00:11EJ.
00:16Iga, you're right, the price is really high.
00:20That's why for those of us who love pork and have a tight budget, it seems like we can avoid eating Filipino favorites like Adobong Baboy, Pork Chop, or Crispy Pata.
00:37That's why the price of each kilo of pork has reached 450 pesos.
00:45Here in Marikina Public Market, the price of each kilo of pork has reached up to 100 pesos, depending on the part.
00:57Liempo, for example, is now 450 pesos, which used to be 350 pesos per kilo.
01:04Kasim is now 380 pesos, which used to be 280 pesos.
01:10Pork Chop is now 60 pesos per kilo, which is now 380 pesos.
01:16Ribs is now 80 pesos, which can be bought for 400 pesos.
01:21The price of each kilo of pork is now 300 pesos, which used to be 250 pesos.
01:27According to the sellers,
01:29There are only a few people who take care of the pigs, that's why it's expensive.
01:33And it's really expensive. The supplier is expensive.
01:37They say that the pigs are short-lived now, that's why the price of pork is increasing.
01:41There's nothing that can be bought across the sea.
01:45And the other farms are closing because the pigs are running out.
01:52They say that the price of pork is really high now.
01:55As a discount, they also do daily sales like bacon and longganisa to increase their income.
02:02Mirna's mother says that she spends 1,500 pesos per day to buy her barbecue.
02:09She earns 500 pesos per barbecue, or sometimes even less.
02:16It's getting harder and harder.
02:18Of course, it's getting higher and higher.
02:21The budget is running out.
02:24The sellers are forced to ask,
02:26When will the price of pork start to go down?
02:30According to our vendors,
02:39Every weekend, or if they have an occasion,
02:42They are able to get their income back.
02:44That's because there are more people who buy pork from them.
02:50According to our vendors,
02:52If their craving for pork is not stopped,
02:57They are discarding the prices of pork.
03:00They will reduce the number of pork and add other ingredients such as vegetables.
03:07That is the first news here in Marikina City.
