Yesterday, DA Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. gave his personal assurance to congressmen, claiming that the absurd price surge on onions that was witnessed last year won't happen again.
During a briefing, Quezon Rep. Wilfrido Mark Enverga alluded to the onion price surge during the last quarter of 2022 that caused great burden on consumers. Laurel stated that he is currently closely monitoring the situation and is doing all in his power to ensure that it won't happen again.
