ROXAS CITY, Capiz (PIA) -- A two-day “Diskwento Caravan Balik Eskwela” edition is set by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Provincial Office here on May 30 and 31 at the MAR Hall along Rizal Street in Pontevedra town to bring basic and prime commodities at discounted or reduced prices closer to the public.
Products available during the caravan are food items, basic and prime commodities, school supplies, uniforms, shoes and other school – related merchandise.
"This will be back to back with the product showcase of our Negosyo Centers from Roxas City and municipalities of Maayon, Panay, Panitan,
Pilar Pontevedra and President Roxas which compose the province's first congressional district," said DTI Capiz Information Officer Marjorie Tendras.
She added that residents of Pontevedra and adjacent municipalities are invited to avail goods at lower prices.
Aside from the suppliers and retailers of the basic and prime commodities, local food and craft producers will also join the caravan.
The selling event seeks to ease the financial burden of the consumers and at the same time provide an additional or alternative market for manufacturers and producers, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The same activity will also be staged by DTI in Mambusao town later this year. (JBG/AAL/PIA Capiz)
