MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has been asked to check into the sales of an onion distributor invited into a House of Representatives hearing, after lawmakers were surprised to learn that she sold red onions at P200 to P250 per kilogram in December. Iloilo 1st District Rep. Janette Garin sought NBI's help on Wednesday after Agrifina Mendoza, a depositor of onions at the Ribson Cold Storage Facility, said during the House committee on agriculture and food hearing that she sold onions at P70 to P75 per kilogram in Divisoria and other markets around June and July, and at P100 to P120 per kilogram between October and November.
