Senator Imee Marcos on Tuesday urged the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to ramp up surprise inspections on school
She said vendors will be taking advantage of the first week of classes when students and teachers are rushing to complete their school supplies. “They have no more time to haggle,” she said.
Random price monitoring conducted by the senator’s office in some Metro Manila markets over the weekend and Monday showed that basic notebooks cost P23 to P60 each, or up to P8 more than the DTI price guide’s range of P23 to P52. Marcos also said crayons in various quantities cost P30 to P100 per box, while DTI’s price guide listed them at 24 to 69 pesos only.
Bargain hunters buying in bulk in Divisoria will find that regular notebooks previously priced at P180 to P200 per ream now cost P250 while spiral notebooks that used to cost 180 to 220 pesos per ream now sell for as high as 300 pesos.
