STC attended a whole afternoon session on 1 December 2022 with the Nat'l. Price Coordinating Council (NPCC) under its new Chairman, DTI Sec. Alfredo Pascual. This is his first session as Sec. & the last one for the year 2022.

It was his intro into NPCC and he wanted to learn the ropes. He wanted to hear the various issues afloat. Unresolved were the high prices of white refined sugar, whatever happened to the smuggled sugar raided at the ports, high prices of onions,  unreasonable amount of gov't. imports for fresh produce and the roll-out of Kadiwa Rolling Stores.
