MANILA – The Department of Trade and Industry called on Filipinos on Tuesday to buy locally-made goods and support homegrown establishments this Christmas season to help the economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Everything that's manufactured in the Philippines will translate into employment," Castelo explained."For example corned beef, we understand maraming masarap na imported corned beef but if we buy the local brand, the local manufacturer will benefit from it, demand will increase, and he will have to employ more workers," she said.
In tandem with its appeal to consumers, the DTI is also calling on local businesses to be fairer in pricing their goods and make them more affordable to Filipinos who have been hit hard by the pandemic. She also made an assurance that the DTI will continue to strictly monitor the prices of basic necessities and prime commodities.
To help politicians' pocket.
Great. The DTI and government in geberal should aggressively promote “Buy local, buy Filipino”. National and local government officials should set the example. Who else will help us except ourselves?
Kumusta naman yun PPE at face mask? Gawang China ba?
Yes tangkilikin ang sariling atin gawa. God bless Phil.
