The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Agriculture (DA) continues to partner with the local government units and private establishments to bring affordable yet high-quality meat products to consumers amidst the community quarantine. Aside from frozen meat products, ready-to-cook meals and processed food were sold at discounted prices during the weekend pop-up.
“With the extension of modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) until 7 September 2021, the DTI assures the public that we will continue to work with the private sector to ensure consumer’s access to meat products,” says DTI Consumer Protection Group (CPG) Undersecretary Atty. Ruth B. Castelo.
