00:00 Do you still have no idea what you will be giving away on Valentine's Day?
00:06 Oh, I have a suggestion here.
00:08 Not only will your hearts be happy, but your teeth will be happy too.
00:14 What is it? Find out on the Central News of Clayzer Paldilla Live.
00:19 Angelique, the Department of Agriculture is asking for vegetables and eggs on Valentine's Day.
00:28 They say that it's not only about being able to reach it, but it's also about being healthy.
00:33 Flowers and chocolates.
00:37 Those are just a few of the many gifts that hearts give away on Valentine's Day.
00:42 But instead of buying gifts from the mall,
00:45 why don't you try going to the Kadihwa Store?
00:50 You can get a bouquet of vegetables that are perfect for chapsuy, pakbet, and other dishes, basket of fruits, and eggs that come with ricado.
01:03 That's up to P100 to P700.
01:08 You can do it. It's better because it's for everyone.
01:12 But the flowers will just be ruined.
01:15 But you can eat it and you'll be full.
01:17 At my age, I need to have flowers and fruits to make my body look younger.
01:30 Now, on Valentine's Day, the Department of Agriculture is asking for agricultural products like vegetables and eggs to be used as practical and substantial gifts.
01:44 Flowers are expensive now, so maybe my wives and girlfriends will be happier if I give them something practical.
01:52 Stunting cases are high in Bicol Region, Visayas, and Mindanao, especially in the barn areas.
01:58 Eggs will help a lot to avoid the effects of malnutrition and stunting.
02:05 According to the Philippine Egg Board Association, the supply of eggs is high, but the demand is low.
02:13 Many people are now trying to get eggs because the price of eggs is high.
02:19 Even some pork producers affected by the African swine fever are now egg producers.
02:26 Because of this, the former price of eggs was P6.50, which is the farm gate price of the smallest eggs, and it dropped to P4.00 per piece.
02:36 In the Commonwealth Market, P50.00 was reduced for each tray of eggs.
02:41 The price of eggs is high. It's a big thing because we can save money.
02:45 We can buy rice and so on.
02:47 Before, the price of the smallest eggs was P200.00. Now, the price of the smallest eggs is P150.00.
02:55 So, it means that each piece is P5.00.
02:59 The Egg Board Association is asking for help from egg producers.
03:04 What's happening to us is that the price is extremely high.
03:11 Now, it's very low.
03:13 If you're going to celebrate any events, if we used to save money on the Legeplan, now, we can use the Legeplan.
03:25 The PEBA, DA, and other government agencies are working together to export eggs and include them in the government's feeding programs.
03:34 If the price of eggs and tomatoes are reduced, now, we can buy up to P140.00.
03:46 According to the Department of Agriculture, the biggest producer of tomatoes in our country is a bit cold in Southern Tagalog.
03:57 So, instead of planting 10 times, we only plant 7 times.
04:01 But, it's easy to find the right supply.
04:03 Eventually, the price of tomatoes will normalize and stabilize.
04:09 We can buy the tomatoes at the usual price of P50.00 per kilo.
04:14 Angelique, let's go back to the different buckets.
04:18 How many eggs are in the bucket? Is it a dozen?
04:22 How much is a bucket of eggs?
04:24 Angelique, it's more than a dozen.
04:30 15 eggs are in a basket with shrimp, 2 tomatoes, and 1/4 of an onion.
04:41 So, it's worth P350.00.
04:45 We also bought a bucket of eggs for packing.
04:50 So, it means that we have 2 or 1 piece of bitter melon, some string beans, a little bit of squash, garlic, and onion.
04:59 That's only P100.00.
05:02 It's more affordable than the market price.
05:05 If you buy that, it's worth P200.00.
05:09 That's what the Department of Agriculture is asking for.
05:12 Buy vegetables from the Kadiwa Store, not only from the Kadiwa Store, but also from the markets.
05:17 So, the locally produced agricultural products will be more attractive.
05:21 Angelique?
05:22 Okay, thank you so much for the gift ideas, Clazel Pardilla.
