The Philippine government is looking for measures to bring smuggled onions to the market to address the supply problem, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said on Thursday.
Marcos' remarks came after the increase in the price of onions which rose to P700 per kilogram in some markets in Metro Manila. According to the President, the Department of Trade and Industry will continue to monitor the price, adding that "we will stick firmly to the recommended price." "We’re trying to find ways to bring the smuggled onions that have been caught na ilagay na sa market para mabawasan ang supply problem," Marcos, who sits as Agriculture chief, said.
"But there are some legal issues to doing that immediately. So we’re still working on that. But we will keep the prices down by monitoring what’s happening in our palengke," he added.
