Despite government intervention, the price of red onions reached a world record. Rulers in the Philippines can't handle the price of onions. The easy-to-grow red onion is apparently making things difficult for Philippine authorities.

In 2022, a record harvest was harvested in the country, but this did not prevent the price of red onions from reaching 650 pesos ($11.84) per kg. This is three times more expensive than chicken meat, and 25% more expensive than beef. Prices soared to such absurd levels that 10 Philippine Air flight attendants were caught carrying a load of onions from the Middle East.

Simply put, try to adjust them manually. The result was not long in coming.
