00:00There's marami tayong nasalanta sa bagyong ngayon, and we're really on top of the situation.

00:06Ang unang-una is there is a 60-day price freeze on all the basic commodities that we have

00:17listed in our memo.

00:23And aside from this, this is also strictly monitored, meaning it's checked, tina-check

00:29namin ito aggressively, meaning on a day-to-day basis, nagbibigay sila ng update sa amin sa

00:36mga supermarkets, grocery, convenience stores, and other areas or other stores na nagbibenta

00:45ng mga basic necessities na ito.

00:47So this must be strictly followed.

00:50So there's a 60-day price increase for the basic necessities that are covered by the

00:58areas na kasama sa nasalanta ng bagyo.

01:05And rest assured that the DTI is really on top of the situation.

01:10Another thing is that we are also aggressively coordinating with the supermarkets, convenience

01:18stores, small and big groceries markets to make sure that there's a constant supply of

01:25food and constant supply of basic necessities that are needed by the people yung nandun

01:32sa mga probinsya or mga towns na nasalanta ng bagyo.

01:37So we are on top of this.

01:40Another thing also that we would like to strictly enforce is also yung mga tao or mga negosyante

01:49that are taking advantage of the situation.

01:53Kasi syempre pag may bagyo, alam ng mga negosyante, not yung mga ibang negosyante, na pwede silang

02:00mag, let's say, take advantage ng situation.

02:03So the Department of Trade and Industry is on top of this also.

02:07We are aggressively price monitoring.

02:10We are also aggressively checking na lahat ng mga presyo ay tamang presyo para sa mga

02:17consumers natin, especially those na nasalanta badly by the bagyo.
