Selama hampir sebulan, bawang bombay menjadi bahan pangan mewah bagi orang Filipina. Lonjakan harganya membuat harga sayuran menjadi lebih mahal dari jenis-jenis daging.

Akibat kenaikan harga itu, otoritas Filipina bahkan menyita pengiriman bawang merah ilegal. Pada awal Januari, bawang senilai US$310.000 (Rp4,6 miliar) dari China dicegat karena hendak diselundupkan dengan label sebagai pakaian.

Nicholas Mapa mengatakan setidaknya ada dua faktor yang melatarbelakangi kenaikan harga tersebut. Proyeksi dari Kementerian Pertanian yang dirilis pada Agustus mengindikasikan bahwa Filipina akan memproduksi lebih sedikit bawang dari yang dibutuhkan.
