Marcos said in proposed Senate Resolution 350, filed on December 6, that there is “a need to determine the cause, as well as, ensure” that the Bureau of Plant and Industry’s (BPI) recommendation to import onions will not “kill the local onion production or industry.”

Senator Imee Marcos has filed a resolution seeking a Senate investigation into the soaring market prices of local onions.

However, Marcos noted that the prices of red onions in public markets remained high despite the government’s imposition of a price cap. Further, the lawmaker cited a news article dated November 30 where Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura president Rosendo So has warned that the retail prices of onions could reach P400 per kilo due to shortage.

Wow - the Senate has to deal with onions - wow Philippines 🇵🇭 🙈

Not organic yung pagtaas ng presyo, kaya the more na pag-usapan yan ay lalabas yung totoo. Parang yung sili dati, there's no way na tataas ng presyo nun kasi pwede ka magtanim niya sa bakuran or kahit saan lang. Parang grass lang yan, madali mabuhay

Paki-pm ang ading mo. 🤣

Tanungin mo ‘yung ading mo ba’t ang taas ng presyo ng sibuyas. ‘Di ba siya ang agriculture secretary? 😂
