In preparation for the proposed transition of Metro Manila from General Community Quarantine (GCQ) to Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ), DTI Consumer Protection Group (CPG) Undersecretary Ruth Castelo and DTI Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau (FTEB) Director Ronnel Abrenica led a special price and supply monitoring of Agricultural and Processed Basic Necessities and Prime Commodities (BNPC) in two supermarkets and two cinemas in Pasig City and Quezon City on 17 February 2021.
The FTEB monitoring team reported compliance with RA 7581 or the Price Act by the 2 supermarkets, as the prices of basic necessities and prime commodities being sold therein are within the Suggested Retail Price (SRP) Bulletin dated 30 September 2019 published by the DTI.
