Joshua Usigan & Ma. Anna Primero, BipsU InternsA SENSE of hopelessness hangs in the air as vegetable and fruit vendors in Carbon Public Market in Cebu City grapple with the effects of El Niño, causing distress among those who face financial ruin. For Susan Bajenting, a vegetable vendor, coping with the sight of her hard-earned produce rotting away is a bitter pill to swallow.“Among baligya malawos ug madaot, ug inig malaya, amo na pong hugasan butangan og ice para mopresko apan makuhaan gyud og timbang so lugi gihapon,” Bajenting said.(Our products are susceptible to spoilage. When they start to wither, we must rinse them and place them on ice to maintain their freshness. Nonetheless, this process still leads to losses due to its impact on their weight.)“Para namo maapektuhan g’yud mi kay gamay nalang man ang supply... gamay og kita para lang naay gamay na kwarta, makabayad sa tag-iya,” she added.(The El Niño phenomenon significantly affects us as it affects our supply chain. Despite minimal profits, we must sell to cover rent for our stall.)Bajenting said they initially sold their lettuce at P100 per kilo, but last week, due to cost considerations, they raised the price to P120 to cover expenses. With the dry season affecting supply, she said they are contemplating a further increase to P200 per kilo.As the temperature soars and the rainfall becomes erratic, the once-fresh produce will now wilt prematurely, succumbing to decay before it reaches the hands of the consumer. Rico Daral Jr., also a vegetable vendor, shared the same frustration with Bajenting as he also experienced a sudden drop in earnings.He said the sales are slow and it’s quite challenging to store certain vegetables, which are not high in demand, in foam and ice due to their inability to withstand the heat.Likewise, fruit vendors are also taking a hit with the prevailing dry season, having a ripple effect on consumers, with vendors adjusting the prices significantly.For instance, a kilo of avocado, previously priced at P150, now sells for up to P200, while cucumbers, previously priced at P25 per kilo, now cost P50 per kilo. Fruit vendors, however, are capitalizing on increased demand, especially during this year’s Holy Week when people seek fruits and vegetables as meat alternatives during the Lenten period.“We earned a bit this week because it’s Holy Week. During such occasions, fruits and vegetables are really in demand,” Samuel Montemayor, a fruit vendor and supplier, said in Cebuano.The repercussions of El Niño extend beyond the market stalls, casting a long shadow over the wallets of consumers, but they have little choice but to pay up. An eatery owner, who asked not to be named, said she usually buys squash, eggplant, cucumber, and other leafy vegetables, and he can attest to the rise in prices for these items.However, he acknowledged that vendors are also affected by the hot weather and understood their need to adjust prices accordingly.While there might be some rain in the city during this period, the El Niño is expected to persist for several months -- possibly prolonging the struggle of vendors to make ends meet.

On May 31, 2010, also during the El Niño phenomenon, the province recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. This coincided with its highest heat index of 49 degrees Celsius in history.

(KJF) What's the best bet on a slot machine? A MANDAUE City official has proposed several initiatives to strengthen and promote “silhig” (brooms) as a specialty product of the city to support the livelihood of its local manufacturers.During the City Council’s regular session on Monday, Feb. 12, 2024, Councilor Nerissa Soon-Ruiz proposed that the City Government coordinate with department stores and grocery stores to allow silhig manufacturers to display their products in these establishments, as was done in the past.Soon-Ruiz noted that the number of silhig manufacturers in the city had been decreasing. Silhig is a type of Filipino broomstick made of palm midribs bound together with or without a wooden pole handle. In Mandaue City, Barangay Paknaan is well-known for producing good quality brooms and a significant number of silhig manufacturers. Last Sunday, Feb. 11, the village celebrated its 13th annual Silhig Festival. The Silhig Festival is part of Paknaan’s fiesta celebration, which honors the Sto. Niño. The festival, celebrated every first Saturday of February, was created in 2011 to showcase silhig as the barangay’s primary source of livelihood and attract more investors.Soon-Ruiz suggested having silhig souvenirs made, especially for potential investors, to enhance the production of local manufacturers; and for the City Government to help provide technological advancements to enhance the broomsticks’ production.“When we offer gifts to our visitors, we can include brooms as one of the souvenirs. We can create a local brand out of it. Along with the bamboo watch, we can add brooms and promote these items. This way, we can support our local industries which are gradually disappearing,” said Soon-Ruiz in Cebuano.“We often buy broomsticks from Baguio City, but come to think of it, our silhig in Paknaan is also of good quality,” she added.Decreased incomePaknaan Barangay Captain Marissa Tecling said out of the barangay’s approximately 34,000 residents, about 40 percent or roughly 13,600 people depend on selling silhig for their livelihood. But only a few families skilled in broomstick manufacturing are left doing the business, she said.Paknaan offers two types of silhig. First is the “pinisi,” which is made of palm midribs bound with a rope or “pisi” which comes with a bamboo holder stick. It costs P50. The other type, called the skylab, is made of special fiber from a buli tree. This also comes with a bamboo stick handle but costs a little more at P75.All products can be purchased either directly from Paknaan makers or at the Mandaue City Public Market.Tecling explained that the annual Silhig Festival is meant to promote the industry and to possibly attract even international attention from social media posts.She said many overseas Filipino workers buy Paknaan’s silhig due to its good quality.Emmadhel Alinsug, 27, who comes from one of the native silhig maker families in Zone Sibuyas, said their sales significantly dropped after the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020. Before the pandemic, they used to earn around P1,000 to P2,000 a day. Nowadays, they can only earn P5,000 or less per month, depending on random orders they receive. Alinsug also said they often face difficulties in getting a steady supply of fiber. When stocks from their nearest supplier in Barangay Labogon run out, they source their materials from Compostela in nothern Cebu. Alinsug welcomed Soon-Ruiz’s proposal, saying this would help them keep the industry alive. The silhig industry is their sole source of livelihood, which has been passed down through generations.“It would be great if we will be promoted because before, we used to be around 30 families making silhig here. Now, we are down to roughly 10 families who continue to manufacture silhig,” said Alinsug in Cebuano.Silhig toursFor her part, Councilor Immaline Cortes-Zafra, who chairs the committee on budget, said Mandaue City is taking steps to preserve its local silhig manufacturing industry in Paknaan through ventures with non-government organizations.Cortes-Zafra said the City also regularly organizes tours in Paknaan for potential investors. “This allows them to see the manufacturing process and hopefully, encourage them to promote it in other areas,” she said.

But only a few families skilled in broomstick manufacturing are left doing the business, she said.Paknaan offers two types of silhig. First is the “pinisi,” which is made of palm midribs bound with a rope or “pisi” which comes with a bamboo holder stick. It costs P50. The other type, called the skylab, is made of special fiber from a buli tree. This also comes with a bamboo stick handle but costs a little more at P75.All products can be purchased either directly from Paknaan makers or at the Mandaue City Public Market.Tecling explained that the annual Silhig Festival is meant to promote the industry and to possibly attract even international attention from social media posts.She said many overseas Filipino workers buy Paknaan’s silhig due to its good quality.Emmadhel Alinsug, 27, who comes from one of the native silhig maker families in Zone Sibuyas, said their sales significantly dropped after the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020. Before the pandemic, they used to earn around P1,000 to P2,000 a day. Nowadays, they can only earn P5,000 or less per month, depending on random orders they receive. Alinsug also said they often face difficulties in getting a steady supply of fiber. When stocks from their nearest supplier in Barangay Labogon run out, they source their materials from Compostela in nothern Cebu. Alinsug welcomed Soon-Ruiz’s proposal, saying this would help them keep the industry alive. The silhig industry is their sole source of livelihood, which has been passed down through generations.“It would be great if we will be promoted because before, we used to be around 30 families making silhig here. Now, we are down to roughly 10 families who continue to manufacture silhig,” said Alinsug in Cebuano.Silhig toursFor her part, Councilor Immaline Cortes-Zafra, who chairs the committee on budget, said Mandaue City is taking steps to preserve its local silhig manufacturing industry in Paknaan through ventures with non-government organizations.Cortes-Zafra said the City also regularly organizes tours in Paknaan for potential investors. “This allows them to see the manufacturing process and hopefully, encourage them to promote it in other areas,” she said.
