SAN JOSE, Antique – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said there is adequate supply of noche buena products in supermarkets and grocery stores in this province.
Based on DTI’s monitoring, there are sufficient commodities available such as ham, spaghetti noodles among others that are usually being prepared during the holiday season, said DTI-Antique Trade and Industry specialist Glen Fernando.
“There is no restriction on the transport of goods to the province that is why there is sufficient supply of noche buena products among supermarkets and stores,” he said.
“We have already posted tarpaulin also in the major supermarkets and stores on the Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for the Noche Buena products so that the consumers could validate,” he added.
Fernando advised consumers to check the prices of goods they are buying to determine whether these are in accordance with the SRP.
“So far, in Antique, the supermarkets and stores are also compliant with the SRP,” he said.
Meanwhile, Fernando reminded shoppers to strictly observe the health protocols against COVID-19 such as physical distancing and wearing of facemasks and face shields. (with PNA/PN)
