President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said the government is trying to find ways to bring seized smuggled onions to the market in an attempt to resolve the supply problem in the country.

Operatives of the Bureau of Customs Port of Cagayan de Oro seize two containers of smuggled onions – approximately worth P3 million – from China last Oct. 15.

The President, however, said putting the smuggled commodity into the market will take time as the act is considered prohibited under the law. Some lawmakers have called for an inquiry on the soaring prices of local onions amid the recent flooding of imported varieties and the reported rampant smuggling from other countries.

Marcos said he may visit areas affected by the shear line after his China visit on Jan. 3 to 5 to know the condition on the ground.
