The retail price of chicken ranged between P180 and P240 per kilo, based on the latest price watch of the DA in Metro Manila markets.

On the other hand, the retail price of pork shoulder ranged between P280 and P370 per kilo and pork belly, between P305 and P400 per kilo.

The prices of eggs also increased to as high as P11 per piece, depending on size.
