The vendors who were rounded up since January 1 will be endorsed to the Department of Agriculture for investigation and appropriate action “as the city has no jurisdiction over the traders where the market vendors get their goods.”

The vendors argued they were forced to increase the price of their goods because they get their products from traders at a higher price. “Pero makikipagtulungan tayo sa DA para habulin ang mga wholesalers lalo na’t kung taga-QC sila ,” Market Development and Administration Department head for Operations Procopio Lipana said, adding that they will use transaction receipts between vendors and traders as evidence.

Mayor Joy Belmonte said the local government wants to ensure that market vendors comply with the suggested retail price so “residents will not be burdened by the already high cost of basic necessities.”

Pork sells in Alfonso P380/kg. Who’s checking this if overpriced or not? Beef P300/kg (lower than the pork). Beef bulalo instead of pork sinigang. I don’t buy pechay anyway.

Great job! Can we do this nationwide? Most especially in Imus Market?
