PAGASA REFUTES DTI’S CLAIMS |
Tuesday, 26 September 2023 |
In the morning of 26 September 2023, just a day
after DTI Sec. Alfredo Pascual proclaimed that there will be no price
increases for BNPCs (basic necessities and prime commodities) until end
of the year, PAGASA's STC was sought his opinion regarding the veracity
of the Secretary's bold statement. DTI held a Meeting with key
manufacturers earlier and prevailed upon them not to increase prices
until the following year. Media
mentions that some of these manufacturers said they did not give their
consent to the Secretary's request. STC maintains that in an economy
that practices free enterprise, prices should be allowed to flow freely
as suppliers always watch out that they do not price their products
out-of-the-market. |
