File photo CEBU CITY - The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Central Visayas has appealed to the retailers to follow the suggested retail price (SRP) on basic commodities to help cushion the impact of inflation brought by the pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Maria Elena Arbon, DTI-7 regional director, cited the dynamics of the movement of prices of basic commodities, saying the rising cost of raw materials up to the manufacturing and from manufacturing to distribution to the consumers has an impact on the retail prices. "Ngano ni increase man ni sjla? Kitang tanan kahibalo man ta unsay panghitabo karon sa kalibutan. About sa Ukraine war, sige pud ta explain unsay hinungdan ani so kaning atong pagtaas sa presyo sa palaliton. Global gyud ni siya (Why is there an increase? We all know the happenings across the world. About the Ukraine war, we keep on explaining the causes in the increase of prices of goods. This is really a global phenomenon)," Arbon said. Arbon&
