'PORK BARREL'

A meat vendor arranges his pork produce, which he sells at the Aranque Market in Recto, Manila on Jan. 14, 2025. The retail price of pork has reached as high as P430 per kilo due to the impact of the African swine fever (ASF) and increase in demand during the holidays, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA). The quinta committee of the House of Representatives, chaired by Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda, said that they will investigate the cartels on pork, chicken and vegetable once it resumes its regular session this week. PHOTO BY MIKE ALQUINTO
