“We understand that even slight increases in the prices of basic goods can be felt deeply by ordinary Filipino families. This is why, in line with President Marcos Jr.’s directive, we are stepping up our nationwide monitoring efforts and working closely with industry players to prevent any unjustified price hikes,” Trade Secretary Cristina Roque said.
The DTI’s collaboration with local government units and other agencies includes implementing price stabilization measures to ensure essential products remain accessible and affordable and prices of basic goods are stable.
The latest Suggested Retail Price (SRP) Bulletin is accessible on the DTI website. Consumers are urged to report retailers, distributors, and manufacturers selling above the SRPs via One-DTI (1-384) Hotline or email, [email protected] or [email protected].
