00:00We are now here at the Commonwealth Market and this is the venue for the implementation of the maximum suggested retail price for the price of pork.
00:10Here, they are saying that they are implementing Php 380 per kilo per pig.
00:17Meanwhile, Php 350 per kilo of Kasim or Pigue.
00:22That is the order of the Department of Agriculture.
00:27The DA is saying that this will help those who are buying pork that is being sold at a high price of Php 400 per kilo.
00:37This will also help the hog industry because of the long-term effect of the African Swine Fever that is affecting the pork industry.
00:47Now, let's talk to those who are buying pork here.
00:51Today, MSRP has been implemented, the maximum suggested retail price for the price of pork.
00:57You are the one who are raising the price. Is that okay for you?
01:01For now, it is not okay for us because we are still raising the price of pork.
01:06For example, how much are you raising?
01:08We are now selling live at Php 245 per kilo.
01:12So, if you are selling Php 350 per kilo, we will lose Php 10.
01:19It should be Php 235.
01:23But of course, you need to follow the DA.
01:27Yes, we need to follow the DA.
01:29What will be the long-term effect on your business?
01:33It will have a big effect on us.
01:35The DA should be cooperating with the hog raisers.
01:39Okay.
01:40That is the most important thing.
01:41Because the hog raisers, when we say this live, the whole Philippines has an association.
01:47If we say Php 240 per kilo, we will not lower the price.
01:50That is what will be followed.
01:51Yes.
01:52So, the DA should be the one who will pay for it.
01:55The price that you are raising now, this is the same price that you were selling for Php 400 plus, right?
02:01No.
02:02Because the price of pork is really high, right?
02:04Yes.
02:05So, it will really be...
02:07Will you lose?
02:08We will lose.
02:09Because we are lowering the retail and wholesale price here.
02:12The farm is not lowering the price live.
02:15Okay.
02:16That is why we cannot afford the price that they are saying.
02:19Yes.
02:20We will talk to the DA.
02:22Because we have a meeting later.
02:24To the DA.
02:25Yes.
02:26At 2 p.m.
02:27Yes.
02:28That is what we will say.
02:29What will you say to the DA?
02:30They are watching.
02:31What will you say to them now?
02:32The DA should be talking to the hog raisers.
02:35So that they will lower the price.
02:37They will follow.
02:38It is easy for us to talk to them.
02:39If they say that our price is like this, we will follow even if we don't earn money.
02:44So, how can we allow that we will not earn money?
02:47We are paying electricity and water here.
02:50So, it is not allowed that we will not earn money.
02:52What is lowering?
02:53That is starting today, right?
02:54Yes.
02:55Did you notice that you are buying more?
02:57It seems that we lost.
02:58Those who are buying.
02:59Why?
03:00They are not convinced that we will lower the price immediately.
03:03Because they know that we will not be able to lower the price immediately.
03:06So, they don't believe that you will fulfill it.
03:08Yes.
03:09Okay.
03:10What is your name again, ma'am?
03:11Josie.
03:12Josie.
03:13Are you a member of other organizations?
03:15No, I am not.
03:16But you are vocal about this.
03:18Yes.
03:19Because I am always interviewed by the DA here.
03:22Thank you, ma'am.
03:23Those are the hog raisers who are selling to the markets.
03:31They said that they will follow the orders of the DA.
03:34But it might affect their business.
03:36Because there is no change or lowering of the price of raising pork.
03:42From the Commonwealth Market in Quezon City, let's go back to the studio.
