Journalist Arnold Clavio made a creative gift for his wife last Valentine’s Day.
In his social media post, Clavio shared the bouquet he gave to his wife, Charlene, that was made of onions.
“Happy ❤️’s Day Mamu … And you deserve the most expensive bouquet on this special day … 14324,” Clavio said.
It can be recalled that during the past few weeks, the price of onion peaked at 700 pesos per kilo.
However, the current price of the onion already dropped to 150 per kilo.
Clavio was one of the people who criticized the government because of the high price of onions.
In his past post, he even said that even national hero Jose Rizal would complain about the price of the said basic ingredient.
Clavio said:
“Kahit si Pepe ay babangon sa hukay ,
Di matanggap ang presyo ng gulay ,
Kapabayaan ba o kahinaan na matatawag
Bakit hinayaang lumala ng ganap ?
Artipisyal ba o may totoong problema ?
Bakit umaangal mga magsasaka ?
Importasyon nga lang ba ang tanging solusyon ?
Naunahan na ng mga smuggler ang pagbaha ng produkyon …
Paano mapatatag , maibaba ang presyo ng sibuyas ?
Law of supply and demand , tila hindi magkaangkas …
Di ba nakakahiya para kay Pangulong Bongbong…
Siya pa naman ang kalihim , problema’y nagkapatung-patong …
Hindi ko maisip ang luhang dulot ng sibuyas …
Ay magkatotoo , kundi ba naman malas!
Masakit na sa bulsa , kahit di pa hinihiwa
Hangang kailan ba magtitiis ang ating sikmura.”
