The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Department of Agriculture (DA)’s Presyong Risonable Dapat – Frozen Meat Edition received positive feedback from consumers during the program’s implementation within the National Capital Region.
Here are some of the testimonials from consumers reached by the program:
“Maganda dahil affordable ang price at talagang pang-masa. Namili na ako nang marami dahil mahirap lumabas at bihira lang magkaroon ng ganito sa barangay.” – Consumer, Noelle
“Maganda at mura. Sana araw-araw dito ang programa ng DTI at DA”. Consumer, Edison
“Mas mura dito dahil nakakamenos rin sa gastusin. Sobrang hirap na ngayon dahil di na alam ng tao san kukuha ng pang gastos.” Consumer, Elsa
“Nakakatulong ito sa amin dahil sa murang bilihin lalo na ngayon na mahirap ang pera. Sa totoo lang matagal na kaming di nakakakain ng baboy ang dahil ang mahal.”, Consumer, Mary Grace
On 11 September 2021, the DTI and DA organized the PRD Program Frozen Meat Edition Weekend Pop-up Stores from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at Pamayanang Diego Silang Covered Court, Barangay Ususan, Taguig City, and from 8:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m at Tramo/Leonardo St., Barangay 61, District 2, Pasay City wherein discounted basic necessities and prime commodities were also made available to the public.
