One month after heavy rain and floods swamped parts of Luzon, prices of some vegetables in Metro Manila finally showed signs of returning to normal.

 

In Marikina City, prices of vegetables from the north went down but were still slightly above the levels before the rain hit, radio dzBB's Glen Juego reported.

 

The report said prices of string beans and cabbage, which were among the vegetables brought in from Northern Luzon provinces such as Benguet, had gone down as of Monday.
