On 24 January 2024, the DTI held the year's first National Price
Coordinating Council Meeting chaired by Sec. Alfredo Pascual. PAGASA is
invited as an observer since the current Administration (under the
Office of the President) has not formally chosen Members to this
Council. Just the same at this Meeting, Sec. Pascual allowed STC to
state PAGASA's position with regards to DTI's practice of applying an
SRP on BNPCs. He even reveals that a study by the DOJ made in 2015 &
one by the World Bank in 2019 cited that the use of SRP is detrimental
to the growth of economies. Seated beside Sec. Alfredo Pascual is the
very capable DOJ Usec. Geronimo Sy. DTI says it will review the
continuous use of SRP as the Secretary prefers to allow market forces to
flow freely instead of having government intervention/over-regulation
concerning the matter. |

In the morning of 21 November 2023, DTI finally releases to media the
long-awaited List of SRPs for 240 Noche Buena Items now renamed as Price
Guide (and not List of SRPs anymore). Media immediately went to work by
interviewing Pres. Steven T. Cua about PAGASA's take on this new
development. DTI allowed more than 50% of those on the list to reflect
increase in prices. Mr. Cua said the government should allow the natural
market forces to dictate prices of BNPCs. After all, he says, items
priced beyond the reach of targetted market will soon find themselves
out-of-the- market. Media online, offline & via SMS or phone patch
went busy that day. |
