00:00The holiday season is coming to an end and the price of eggs is rising.
00:06Let's check the price of eggs with EJ Gomez live. EJ?
00:14Susan, the price of eggs is expected to rise in the coming months.
00:19The price of eggs is usually rising during the holidays because it is used to make cakes,
00:24other preparations, and food for gifts.
00:27Moreover, let's check the price here in Pasig Mega Market.
00:30We are still in the first month of Vermont.
00:37In the past few weeks, the price of eggs in the markets in Metro Manila has risen.
00:42Based on the latest monitoring of the Agriculture Department,
00:45the price of eggs varies from 6 pesos to 9 pesos depending on the size.
00:49In Pasig Mega Market, the smallest egg can be bought for 8 pesos per piece
00:54while the jumbo can be bought for 10 pesos.
00:57That price has risen by 20 to 50 centavos since the past few weeks.
01:01The price of small-sized eggs can be bought for 240 pesos now
01:06while the jumbo can be bought for 300 pesos per tray.
01:09Week-on-week, the price of eggs can rise up to 5 pesos or more.
01:13According to Nene, the price of eggs is really rising during the cold months
01:18because the chickens are not able to lay eggs.
01:21If the price rises by 5 pesos per tray, of course, we will also rise.
01:25The increase is twice a week.
01:27If they increase by 5 pesos the following day, it's 10 pesos.
01:33Then next week, it's the same again.
01:36The supply is still okay now, according to the sellers.
01:40Edna, who owns a canteen,
01:42will buy eggs at any high price because of her business.
01:47Yes, because that's the main source of food for the masses.
01:53There's nothing else we can do.
01:57Yes, that's what we need.
02:01According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
02:03the price of eggs is slowly rising while the holidays are approaching
02:07due to the lack of supplies in the country.
02:09There were a lot of production cuts during the heat wave and El Niño.
02:13Even now, they are confident that the supplies will be sufficient during the holidays
02:17because the egg producers are starting to repopulate.
02:25Susan, since we came to this market early in the morning,
02:28a lot of people are buying eggs.
02:30It's proven that even if the price rises, this commodity can still be sold.
02:35Especially during breakfast,
02:37because this is one of the cheapest and easiest to cook.
02:40And of course, it's a partner to the Filipino favorite, Tapsilog.
02:43That's the first news from Pasig City.
