Christmas products may not increase due to the lack of demand DTI said.

Christmas is approaching and even Filipinos are struggling due to this pandemic but they will always find a way to celebrate Christmas. Do not fear DTI (Department of Trade in Industry) Secretary Ramon Lopez sees no increase on Christmas products it is because of the lack of demand. He also encourage everyone to buy goods on businesses to help them even we are in pandemic.

“Ang demand ay mahina naman kaya hindi natin inaasahang talagang tataas ang mga presyo ngayong kapaskuhan na ‘to,” Lopez said in an interview over Teleradyo.

(There is a weak demand that’s why we’re not expecting prices to increase this coming Christmas season.)

“So sana na nga lang, hindi sobrang bumagal ang demand, ito rin ang kailangan ng negosyo ngayon na sana mga kababayan natin, mamili pa rin nang mamili,” he added.

(But we hope that the demand will not continue to slow down because this is what businesses need right now, for our countrymen to buy.)
