THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has released the 2024 Noche Buena products price guide, noting many of these essential items have remained at their 2023 prices while others have even decreased.
In a statement on Sunday, the DTI said prices for ham, fruit cocktail, queso de bola, sandwich spread, cheese, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and all-purpose cream have remained stable.
But the good news, the department added, is that select brands of mayonnaise, pasta, elbow macaroni, salad macaroni, and all-purpose cream have price reductions.
The prices of ham ranges from P170 to P928.50; queso de bola, from P210 to P445; fruit cocktail, from P61.76 to P302.50; cheese, from P56.50 to P310; mayonnaise, from P20.40 to P245.85; and all-purpose cream, from P36.50 to P72.
Prices of sandwich spread, meanwhile, ranges from P27 to P263.60; pasta or spaghetti, from P32 to P114; elbow macaroni, from P30.50 to P126.25; tomato sauce, from P16.50 to P92.85; salad macaroni, from P36.50 to P126.25, and spaghetti sauce, from P28.50 to P103.
The prices listed in the Noche Buena price guide will remain effective until Dec. 31 to ensure access to reasonably priced products through Media Noche.
“Aligned with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to promote consumer rights and responsibilities, this year’s Noche Buena Price Guide demonstrates the DTI’s commitment to empowering Filipino families to make informed choices,” DTI acting Secretary Cristina Roque said. (PNA)
