Prices of some flowers in Dangwa Flower Market in Sampaloc, Manila have increased ahead of Undas or the observation of All Soul’s Day.
Interviewed by RH Boy Gonzales on Tuesday, Oct. 31, a vendor named Guido mentioned that prices of radus, anthurium, and red anthurium doubled.
He said the price of radus flowers now ranges from P300 to P400 per bundle.
“Ang mga tumaas na presyo ng bulaklak katulad ng Radus, noong nakaraang linggo bago mag-Undas, P150 hanggang P180 lang. Tumaas na siya nang double, naging P300, P350, P400. Isang bundle iyon,” Guido said.
For torium, he said a bundle costs P700 to P750, much higher than the previous P350.
