00:00More than two weeks before the election, let's talk about the sale of school supplies and uniforms in Batangas.
00:06Here's the first live news from Denise Abando, GMA Regional TV.
00:11Denise?
00:14Ivan, even though the price of some school uniforms has increased in some stores here in Batangas City,
00:19the sale is still high according to some shopkeepers.
00:24She's looking for a blouse for her grandson's school uniform.
00:31She was planning to buy four, but after choosing and asking for forgiveness,
00:35she only bought one.
00:37She said she will try to get along with her grandson before buying another one.
00:42Now, it's still open, that's why I bought a uniform.
00:46Because if I have to go to school, there are a lot of choices.
00:51According to some shopkeepers, the price of ready-made school uniforms has increased by five pesos compared to last year
00:58because of the increase in the price of fabric.
01:01The blouse and polo play for 150 to 170 pesos each piece depending on the size.
01:08The skirt is for 250 to 350 pesos.
01:12The pants are for 380 to 400 pesos while the jogging pants are for 150 pesos for PE.
01:19The shorts are for 150 to 170 pesos and the white t-shirt is for 90 to 100 pesos.
01:26The sale is already high a few weeks before the school starts on July 29.
01:30It's really high to the point that it should be full stock.
01:35It means that our size is from size 6 to 5X, polo and blouse.
01:41For those who have a large budget and want to be sure that the uniform they will wear is the right size,
01:47they can buy from 700 to 1,300 pesos each set depending on the type of fabric.
01:55In Lipa City, the display of school uniforms in some stores is already full.
02:00There are also old stocks that can be bought, that's why these are cheaper.
02:04But most of them are new items from Manila.
02:07Some of them were already bought earlier.
02:09It's like we don't have to wait in line to buy.
02:12And we don't have a lot of choices.
02:14Even if the price is high, it's still a lot if you buy a lot.
02:20It's still a lot to save.
02:22Based on the price monitoring of DTI in some stores in Calabarzon,
02:26the price of the notebook varies from 15 pesos to 45 pesos depending on the type.
02:3212 pesos to 44 pesos for the pad paper.
02:3510.50 pesos for one to 32 pesos.
02:383 pesos to 24 pesos for the ball pen.
02:42For the crayons, 12 pesos to 129 pesos.
02:45It's possible that the price of some items will go up while the market closes on July 29.
02:52Hopefully, the consumers will still be able to buy the old stocks that are in the old prices.
02:58So they just have to wait.
03:00If they already have a budget, they can already buy.
03:05They already have an ID.
03:10Ivan, in the next few days or weeks,
03:13there will be a surprise or random inspection of the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI
03:17in some school supply stores here in Batangas.
03:20Ivan?
03:21Thank you very much.
