House Speaker Martin Romualdez gave his most ominous message yet to hoarders of agricultural products on Tuesday, Feb. 7, as he told them to “moderate their greed”.
“Stop these foolishness, bring back the supply, stabilize it, work with us. And if not, you’re against us—your days are numbered,” a visibly irate Romualdez said on the sidelines of memorandum of agreement signing at the Romualdez Hall in the House of Representatives.
“Obviously one of the top and burning issues today—the high and soaring prices of basic commodities like sugar and now onions and even garlic. We’d like to tell the public that the House of Representatives will use all its resources, and employ all its efforts to ensure that we bring back stable prices and stable supply of these basic commodities,” he said, addressing the room.
“So it only points out to one thing, there is hoarding, there is price manipulation. So we are warning those who are behind these nefarious activities—that your days are numbered, the House will be going after you,” he added. “Moderate the supply, moderate your greed, give us fair prices—if not, your days are numbered, we’re going after all of you,” he said.Romualdez said he has already ask the House Committee on Agriculture and Food “to get to the bottom” of the hoarding issue.
