Gov’t taking steps to prevent price spikes as Christmas nears

In a Facebook Live video Saturday, Nograles said the government has continuing measures to prevent increases in the prices of basic commodities.

“During public calamity and public crisis tulad ng meron sa atin ngayon, puwede namang maglagay ng mga price controls kung kinakailangan. Puwede namang i-operationalize ‘yan tulad ng nangyari noong kaka-start ng COVID dito sa atin ,” he added. “We want to prevent price manipulation, make sure there is no hoarding, to avoid situations wherein unscrupulous individuals can take advantage of artificial shortages of goods,” he added.

“If these measures are in place, we can prevent price fluctuations that can hurt Filipino consumers,” he added.
