THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has committed to keeping basic commodity prices stable this Christmas season.
In a press briefing on Tuesday, Presidential Communications Office (PCO) and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the DTI’s commitment is part of efforts of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s administration to help consumers, particularly amid fluctuating oil prices due to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
“Ang DTI ay nangako na walang pagtaas itong darating na Pasko sa mga prime commodities, mga basic needs natin, iyong supply ng fuel ay hindi mapuputol, tuluy-tuloy pa rin,” Castro said.
Castro emphasized that the government is implementing interventions across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to ensure Filipinos nationwide receive support.
“Magtulong-tulong pa rin tayo, kasama kayo, na intindihin natin kung ano ang nangyayari sa paligid natin kasi sabi nga natin, hindi ito kagustuhan ng Pangulo dahil sinong pangulo ang gugustuhing tumaas ang presyo ng krudo,” she noted.
She also assured the public that fuel supplies would remain uninterrupted even as global oil prices continue to fluctuate due to geopolitical tensions.
