DTI-General Santos City, Philippines

The City Price Monitoring Council headed by the Department of Trade and Industry, this city, is closely monitoring the prices of noche buena products this month of December.

In the "Meet the Press" program over DXCP, Arnel Sayco, officer-in-charge of DTI-General Santos City, underscored the significance of intensifying the agency's monitoring tasks on most in demand food products in this merrymaking season to protect the consumers from scrupulous businessmen.

Sayco said posters on the suggested retail prices of noche buena products are displayed in supermarkets where consumers can refer to if they suspect overpricing or violation of the Price Act or Republic Act 7581.

Ken Wong, DTI-General Santos City's Consumers Arbitration Officer disclosed that once a consumer discovers an overpriced product, he/she may lodge his/her complaint with the Consumers Welfare's Desk of the establishment which might take efforts in settling the case.
