EXTENDED ang pinaiiral na price freeze at Suggested Retail Price (SRP) ng Department of Agriculture.
“We included other food items commonly bought households,” ani Agricuture Secretary William Dar sa isinagawang virtual press conference sa DA Central Office sa Quezon City kahapon.
Sa pinalawak na price freeze ay isinama na ang major types ng bigas (imported, local and NFA), galunggong, pork liempo, chicken egg (medium) at mantika (cooking oil).
“The expansion of the list forms part of our continuing efforts to ensure availability of basic commodities at reasonable prices in Metro Manila and other urban markets nationwide,” anang DA chief.
Binigyan diin pa ni Dar, na sapat ang kasalukuyang supply ng mga pangunahing produkto ng isda upang mapunan ang pangangailangan ng taumbayan at para maiwasan na mag-panic ang publiko.
Kasabay nito, pinalakas din ang DA Bantay Presyo Task Force na makikipag-ugnayan sa Local Price Coordinating Councils.
“We will apprehend and file cases against price freeze violators. Sasampolan po namin sila,” babala pa ni Dar. JOEL O. AMONGO
