00:00 From P7.50 to P9.00, each piece of egg is now playing at P4.00 to P7.00.
00:05 It will go down until April because there are a lot of eggs.
00:09 Not only did the eggs go down, but their supply also increased,
00:13 while the demand was greatly reduced after the holiday season.
00:17 What happened is that our industry caught up with the lack of production during that time.
00:25 The problem is that after the holiday season, January to February,
00:31 the demand for eggs was greatly reduced.
00:37 That's why the Department of Agriculture encouraged the public to eat or use more eggs.
00:42 We are continuously coordinating with the DSWD and other agencies,
00:47 the National Nutrition Council, to promote eggs
00:51 because we know that eggs are one of the cheapest sources of protein.
00:56 According to a nutritionist and dietitian, eggs are considered a superfood.
01:00 Aside from protein, it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals that can help with metabolism.
01:06 But it also contains cholesterol and saturated fat.
01:10 So when eating eggs, the overall diet should be balanced.
01:14 It is very safe to eat eggs every day.
01:18 This is recommended for those considered healthy.
01:22 So when we say healthy, there is no underlying disease, diabetes, heart problem, or high cholesterol.
01:29 Their peers can eat up to three eggs a day.
01:33 If there is an underlying disease, eat one egg a day.
01:36 The best way to eat eggs is boiled egg.
01:39 If fried, the saturated fat and cholesterol of the oil should be reduced.
01:44 If it's cheap, you can eat it.
01:46 If you eat a lot of eggs, maybe the cholesterol will affect us.
01:53 If we buy a lot of eggs, it will also rot at home.
01:58 If you can buy it, that's fine.
02:01 Onions are expensive here in Metro Manila.
02:03 But in Vintar, Locos Norte, an owner was forced to give his mother's onions.
02:09 It was hard for him to sell it even if he had already set the price at 35 pesos per kilo.
02:16 So he decided to give it to his acquaintances and those who are asking for it.
02:21 He also said that onions should be chopped so that it won't be wasted.
02:26 The Department of Agriculture has no statement about this.
