On the hot afternoon of 17 May 2021, as Senate resumes its session, PAGASA joined forces with the PRA and KATAPAT, an NGO, to ran a Motorcade circling the offices of the Senate. This is to remind them that the proposed Amended Retail Liberalization Law which intends to lower the capex requirement of foreign retailers to $100,000 or P5M (from the original $2.5M or P125M) will slowly and surely kill local MSMEs in the retail trade and open up the economy to more smuggled goods. PAGASA's STC was interviewed there live over DZRJ Teleradyo. PAGASA was represented by JC Plaza, Welcome Supermart, Welcome Bac and the support of its 400+ member-stores.
