A price monitoring survey conducted by the Bacolod City government showed that only prices of sugar and fish have increased at the South Libertad Public Market.

Price Monitoring Team coordinator Ernie Pineda said prices of refined sugar increased from P28.50 (as of Dec. 23, 2005) to P40 per kilo, and brown sugar from P21 to P30 per kilo based on an actual price monitoring survey held Jan. 1 to 2, 2006.

However, Pineda said the prices of chicken is expected to go down this month because of the decrease in the demand.

A progress report submitted by the PMT stated that prices of basic commodities in super markets are lower by P1 to P2 compared to the prices of mini-groceries at the Libertad market.*CGS
