00:00 As a result of the El Nino effect, the DTI has already implemented a price freeze on their main product in the country.
00:06 What can our fellow countrymen say about this?
00:10 Noel Talacay will tell you in detail.
00:12 The food that Nanny Beng's family usually eats are canned food.
00:20 This is the only thing that her budget can afford
00:23 because she doesn't earn much as a vendor in the market.
00:29 I don't have much money.
00:31 I can only afford sardines.
00:34 That's why she was happy about the news of a price freeze on their main products
00:40 because of the announcement by the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI
00:45 that some of the canned goods will be included in the price freeze until July 10.
00:52 According to Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual,
00:55 the manufacturers and retailers announced that they will implement a price freeze on their main products
01:03 after their help in May 3.
01:06 In another announcement, the Secret Service said that they are continuously monitoring the prices of their main products in the market
01:14 and thank the DTI and other industries
01:20 for taking care of the health of consumers especially now that the effects of the El Nino are increasing.
01:27 The Secret Service also said that it understands the difficulties experienced by Filipinos during the El Nino.
01:35 That's why they are making sure that the prices of their main products are correct
01:40 and that the business of retailers is running smoothly.
01:45 Meanwhile, a vendor called for the price of vegetables to be controlled
01:51 because the price of vegetables used to be P300.
01:56 Now, it's P550.
01:59 Before, they can sell a lot of eggplants.
02:01 Now, they can only eat a little because they don't have enough water because it's too hot.
02:06 They admitted that their income is running out
02:09 because the price of vegetables is continuously increasing since the El Nino was approved.
02:15 I am calling for help in selling vegetables and to reduce the price.
02:21 Under the Price Act, the price freeze of their main products must be implemented within 60 days under the state of calamity.
