President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved several initiatives proposed by Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual to help regulate the soaring prices of onions in the Philippines. This is as the DTI vowed to assist the Department of Agriculture in addressing the issue with Filipinos still struggling with high food prices. One of the measures approved by the President is to limit the number of traders involved in the supply chain of imported and locally produced onions to bring down prices.
