00:00Even though the Department of Agriculture has set a maximum suggested retail price for pork,
00:05most of the sellers are still not able to keep up with it.
00:09Some retailers say that the price they get from the suppliers is too high.
00:13First news is from Bernadette Reyes.
00:19The maximum suggested retail price for pork has been implemented for more than a week.
00:24But the Agri-Department, which is being sold in Metro Manila, still overestimated it.
00:29The kilo of pork still reaches Php 420 while the kilo of pork belly is Php 470.
00:37Mayra is trying to find a place in San Juan City to buy pork so that she can find a place in the SRP.
00:49Here in the Agora Market in San Juan, depending on the retailer,
00:52there are those who can keep up with the maximum SRP of Php 350 for each kilo of pork.
00:58Php 380 for pork.
01:00But there are other retailers who can't sell at this price.
01:04According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:06even though the compliance is not 100%,
01:09the number of those who can keep up with the SRP is increasing.
01:12According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:14only 25% or more than 2 out of every 10 retailers are able to sell at the maximum SRP.
01:22They give a high price.
01:24If the price drops to Php 50, we will lose because we have to pay for the place.
01:28There are still people who can't afford it.
01:29They give us a low price.
01:31So if we can sell it at a low price, we sell it instead of keeping it.
01:36In Marikina Public Market, Php 380 is the maximum price.
01:40While the pork belly is Php 420, it still exceeds the maximum SRP.
01:44They give us a low price of Php 10.
01:47That's why we can't keep up with the SRP.
01:51That's why we still give them Php 420.
01:53Depending on the dealer, if we can get it at a lower price, we won't lower the price.
01:59No, no.
02:00Because that's what they're demanding.
02:03Maybe that's what they're asking for.
02:06If it's expensive, they will increase it.
02:08Of course, they have people.
02:10According to the Department of Agriculture,
02:12the number of those who can keep up with the SRP is increasing.
02:15If you look at it, from 6 to 25 in how many days?
02:191, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
02:21Less than a week.
02:23That's already quite a lot.
02:25They are now talking about where the pork belly will be imported.
02:30They really have their plans.
02:32It should also be recorded because everything is recorded.
02:37It should also be known where the specific place,
02:42specific section or value chain is.
02:45There are problems.
02:47This is the first news.
