MANILA, Philippines — Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez on Sunday urged concerned authorities to follow through on leads unveiled during a House panel's inquiry into the alleged hoarding and manipulation of prices of onion and garlic. The House leader believed that after nine hearings, 'the House has already provided good leads' that will help authorities consolidate and build an airtight case and track the people involved. 'I call on the concerned authorities like the National Bureau of Investigation, the Philippine Competition Commission, and the Department of Agriculture to work together to stamp out this cartel and spare our people from further suffering caused by their unscrupulous trade practices,' he said in a statement.
