00:00I would like to remind you that if your markets are doing well, there is still a rising price freeze in some places affected by the typhoon Kareena and Habagat last July.
00:09DTI inspected the area where high-priced goods have just been received.
00:15Bon Aquino was there.
00:21To check the rising price freeze in Metro Manila,
00:25the Trade Department and Quezon City officials inspected the farmers' market.
00:29They inspected the price of pork, beef, and rice.
00:32They also measured the price of canned milk and oil in a grocery store of a mall.
00:37All prices are within the standard that should be sold by the sellers.
00:45We also expect that there will be a lot of sales, but it's coming up.
00:50The price freeze includes the main purchases such as rice, meat, vegetables, oil, and bread,
00:56as well as eggs, coffee, sugar, salt, soap, and candles.
01:00DTI said that the stores they inspected did not go bankrupt.
01:04Until September 22, the price freeze in places affected by the typhoon Kareena and Habagat on July 24 will be in effect.
01:11Aside from Metro Manila, it is effective in Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cainta, Salizal, Cavite, and Baco Townships and Pinamalayan in Oriental Mindoro.
01:21This means that prices should not go up.
01:24It's not over yet. Manufacturers asked to adjust the suggested retail price.
01:29It's normal. They always say that they are losing money.
01:32But we also need to be sensitive to the needs of the consumers.
01:36Noche Buena items will also be monitored even though it is not yet known if it will go up.
