Two House lawmakers on Thursday said price manipulation and the hoarding of supplies being blamed on an 'onion cartel' will not prosper without help from the government, particularly the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI).
Two House lawmakers on Thursday said price manipulation and the hoarding of supplies being blamed on an "onion cartel" will not prosper without help from the government, particularly the Bureau of Plant Industry .
Quimbo said based on public records, BPI grants onion import permits to three select entities whose owners are connected to PhilVieva. Quimbo then questioned why Cruz's PhilVieva was still allowed by the BPI to import onions despite being blacklisted. "For a cartel to thrive, kailangan may kasama ka sa gobyerno. Hindi magiging matagumpay 'yan kung walang kasabwat sa gobyerno, and we will keep you posted on that," Enverga said in the same press conference.
