Over 3,000 people from the different barangays of Lupon, Davao Oriental recently took advantage of the Presyo Diskwento Caravan conducted in their area.
As part of the founding anniversary celebration of Lupon, the caravan offered as much as 80 percent discounts to basic and prime commodities.
The Presyo Diskwento Caravan is an initiative of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) which is aimed at bringing relief to consumers from the rising prices of goods. This is in partnership with other government agencies and the private sector.
For the Lupon leg of the caravan, the agency partnered with the local government unit (LGU) of Lupon, NCCC-Tagum City, and ER Supermall.
Lupon LGU executive assistant Bong Pacetes said he had observed that residents left the area with two or more purchases.
“I haven’t seen such a huge crowd like this,” he said.
Documentation of the activity revealed total sales receipt of P167,939.25 from the 3,011 registered buyers. [DTI-DO/ZIR/JMM]
