According to Yamah Requina, who uploaded the video, the cabbages do not meet the market standard, but are still edible. Thus, middlemen decided to give them to those who would want them. They put up a sign in Cebuano indicating that the cabbages are free, and those who want them should just approach.

Requina also said that the middlemen do not want to risk traveling to big towns and cities, since their produce may soon become rotten.
