00:00There's marami tayong nasalanta sa bagyong ngayon, and we're really on top of the situation.
00:06Ang unang-una is there is a 60-day price freeze on all the basic commodities that we have
00:17listed in our memo.
00:23And aside from this, this is also strictly monitored, meaning it's checked, tina-check
00:29namin ito aggressively, meaning on a day-to-day basis, nagbibigay sila ng update sa amin sa
00:36mga supermarkets, grocery, convenience stores, and other areas or other stores na nagbibenta
00:45ng mga basic necessities na ito.
00:47So this must be strictly followed.
00:50So there's a 60-day price increase for the basic necessities that are covered by the
00:58areas na kasama sa nasalanta ng bagyo.
01:05And rest assured that the DTI is really on top of the situation.
01:10Another thing is that we are also aggressively coordinating with the supermarkets, convenience
01:18stores, small and big groceries markets to make sure that there's a constant supply of
01:25food and constant supply of basic necessities that are needed by the people yung nandun
01:32sa mga probinsya or mga towns na nasalanta ng bagyo.
01:37So we are on top of this.
01:40Another thing also that we would like to strictly enforce is also yung mga tao or mga negosyante
01:49that are taking advantage of the situation.
01:53Kasi syempre pag may bagyo, alam ng mga negosyante, not yung mga ibang negosyante, na pwede silang
02:00mag, let's say, take advantage ng situation.
02:03So the Department of Trade and Industry is on top of this also.
02:07We are aggressively price monitoring.
02:10We are also aggressively checking na lahat ng mga presyo ay tamang presyo para sa mga
02:17consumers natin, especially those na nasalanta badly by the bagyo.
