Prices of vegetables and fish have gone up amid the onslaught of Typhoon Egay in the northern provinces of Luzon.
[Translation: We did not receive any report…the travel from Cordillera to Metro Manila is continuous. There might be a few delays.]
Meanwhile, costs for fish varieties such as bangus, galunggong, and tilapia have also gone up due to difficulty in sourcing other kinds of fish. While price hikes for fish are common during the rainy season due to fishing bans, some consumers say they no longer expect cheaper commodities regardless of the weather.
The DA said Egay's damage to agriculture is at ₱53.1 million for rice and corn fields, livestock and poultry in the Cordillera region, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Caraga. The agency, however, said the impact is not significant enough to impact supply and prices in the market.
