00:00Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal have high prices this month.
00:06The Department of Trade and Industry is giving them to us
00:09because of the rising prices of the ingredients.
00:13Bernadette Reyes has the story.
00:18Starting this February, Pinoy Tasty increased its price by P3.50.
00:25P2.25 for each pack of Pinoy Pandesal, which has 10 pieces.
00:30Manufacturers have been increasing their prices for years.
00:34But now, the Department of Trade and Industry gave them
00:37because they also saw the rising prices of the ingredients.
00:54So, that's also the reason.
00:56They've been asking for that actually for the longest time.
00:59So, we've been really holding it off for them to at least to, you know, hold off.
01:04But now, we also need to balance also so that they don't lay off people.
01:11The DTI negotiated with the bread manufacturers
01:14so that the price will be lower than the rising prices.
01:17The DTI said that this is enough for them to continue selling abotkayang tinapay.
01:23They're really very helpful to us, to the consumers.
01:29Because if there's a lot of losses, the chefs will suddenly lose their sex.
01:35According to Panaderong Pilipino, which is part of the community bakeries,
01:39this is the reason why they stopped selling Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal.
01:43They also said that the rising prices are temporary
01:46because the prices of Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal are too far
01:49compared to the usual 3 pesos to 3 pesos and 50 centavos prices of Pandesal in bakeries.
01:56The people who do this will have a lot of motivation
02:01to do this because the bakery won't lose money.
02:05Your project is good.
02:07Cheap bread.
02:08Cheap loaf bread.
02:09But this cheapness can't be given by the community bakeries.
02:15It's a hand-to-mouth operation.
02:17You don't have a big bakery.
02:19You don't have a big consumer.
02:21You're just buying from dealers, sub-dealers.
02:26According to commercial bakers,
02:28the prices of ingredients are rising
02:30because they're trying to increase the prices of Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal.
02:34But for neighborhood bakeries like this,
02:37they feel that the prices of raw materials are rising.
02:41Everything is rising.
02:42Sugar, oil, vanilla, milk.
02:46We're just adjusting to the size of the bread.
02:48Before, it was big.
02:50Now, we're adjusting because it's low-gain.
02:52Because we're taking care of everything.
02:54Life is hard now, ma'am.
02:56It's so cheap.
02:58Just divide it so that everyone can eat.
