The Department of Trade and Industry - Negros Occidental has reminded the public to purchase Christmas lights only marked with Philippine Standard and Import Commodity Clearance to ensure that they get quality products.

In its advisory, the Trade and Industry Regulation Division, headed by Max Ravena, said that the DTI-Negros Occidental regularly monitors the market to protect consumers from buying substandard Christmas lights and other similar products.

It also is coordinating with business establishments to remind them to procure only from manufacturers and importers that have been issued PS License and ICC and to sell only PS and ICC-marked Christmas lights.

NFA losses to continue if funds
remain insufficient for operations

The National Food Authority will continue to incur losses if the government will not provide the agency sufficient funds for its operational costs to subsidize the price of palay and rice.

This was pointed out by NFA Administrator Gregorio Tan Jr. in a statement even as the NFA has been performing the mandates of food security and supply and price stabilization in more than 33 years.

Tan, however, said that whatever losses NFA incurs in its day-to-day operations are gains for the rice farmers who continue to enjoy having a ready market at a reasonable price for their palay and the consumers who have continuous access to quality but low-priced NFA rice.
