Among the five tips that the trade chief provided to Filipinos was to get good deals amid rising prices for the “Noche Buena” feast was to stick and patronize trade fairs offering local products.
Moreover, Pascual bared the schedule of the Kadiwa ng Pasko trade fairs where, he said, producers and manufacturers will be selling “essential foods” at low prices in the National Capital Region as well as across different regions. Aside from the KnP trade fairs, Pascual called on Filipinos to patronize the Diskwento Caravan. He said this is still being conducted nationwide to bring “quality BNPCs [basic necessities and prime commodities] to consumers at a lower cost.”
Meanwhile, Pascual also shared other tips, which can help Filipinos decide on purchasing products during the Noche Buena season. He said, “It is important to keep track of your budget, spending habits, and know where to look for the best deals.”
