00:00The prices of groceries increased rapidly this December compared to last November.

00:04At the beginning of the year, the problem is not only the high price of rice,

00:08but also the high price of tomatoes.

00:10Ivan Mayerina was on the news.

00:16The three-year administration of Marcos became a firm challenge.

00:19The prices of various groceries are increasing.

00:22The country has gone through the rising prices of onions, chilies, and even potatoes.

00:28Now, they are talking about the high price of tomatoes,

00:31and what's not to be missed, the high price of rice.

00:35The food security and food prices were not discussed in the first full cabinet meeting this year.

00:40But President Bongbong Marcos said that his Department of Agriculture will separate

00:45while confirming that the government is targeting this.

00:48Since the beginning of my service in the Cabinet,

00:52we have been wondering how this will happen.

00:56There is sufficient supply, but the prices don't go down, they go up.

01:01So we have been very active in prosecuting the hoarders.

01:07But that is only one part of the explanation.

01:10There is smuggling, but we are looking at all this.

01:14The price of tomatoes is local production, why is it high?

01:17Based on the data, the government is trying to reduce inflation

01:23or the rapid price increase of goods in the country.

01:26Even if it increases to 2.9% this December,

01:29from 2.5% in November,

01:32based on the data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority,

01:35because of the whole year 2024,

01:37the inflation rate was only 3.2%,

01:40not even lower than 6% in 2023.

01:44That is also included in the 2% to 4% target of the government for this year.

01:48But not only goods, such as food, but also groceries,

01:52need to be targeted to have something to do with inflation,

01:56like the increase in inflation this December.

01:58Housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels are also affected by the increase in inflation.

02:04The increase in house rent is faster, with 2.4% inflation.

02:09And LPG, with 7.8% inflation.

02:14President Bongbong Marcos helped the economic managers

02:17of NEDA, BSP, and the Department of Finance yesterday.

02:21Even though the inflation rate is lower than the previous year,

02:24the President instructed not to be complacent and to remain prepared,

02:27because there are still reasons for prices to rise again,

02:31like the rise in the prices of goods in different parts of the world,

02:34and of bad weather.

02:36For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meirina, Katutok, 24 Hours.
