KIKO CALLS ON DTI TO INVESTIGATE HIGH PRICES OF VEGETABLES AND FISH IN NCR


MANILA, September 3, 2012-Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan today urges the Department of Trade and Industries (DTI) to monitor closely and investigate the factors that contribute to the persistent high prices of fish and vegetables in the National Capital Region. Reports say that vendors are blaming the high cost of transport, as roads were damaged by rains and floods that wreaked havoc in the region two weeks ago.

"Halos hindi pa nga nakaka-recover ang ating mga kababayan, at ito pa ang isang dagdag-pasanin para sa kanila," points out Pangilinan, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food. "Hinihimok natin ang DTI na imbestigahan at bigyan ng sanctions ang mga mapapatunayang nananamantala sa pagbagyo at sa mga kalamidad.”

"Kailangan manaig sa atin ang bayanihan sa mga ganitong pagkakataon. Maraming lugar pa rin sa Luzon ang lubog sa baha. Kailangan nating isaalang-alang ang kapakanan ng ating mga kababayan na hirap pa rin sa pag-ahon mula sa sakunang naranasan natin dalawang linggo na ang nakakalipas."
