PROBING THE PRICE OF GARLIC: Sen. Cynthia Villar, chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food, examines locally produced garlic during a public hearing on Thursday, July 3. Villar described the 900 percent increase in the price of garlic as “obscene” and directed government officials to go after unscrupulous traders who manipulated its price from P17 per kilo to more than P300 per kilo.
