As global tensions in the Middle East continue to raise concerns over oil supply and the cost of imported goods, Congressman Bryan Revilla of Agimat Partylist has urged the government to consider the immediate implementation of a price freeze on essential commodities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revilla emphasized that proactive measures are necessary to shield Filipino families from the potential ripple effects of rising fuel costs and inflation on food and basic necessities. He stressed that the government must remain vigilant and responsive to ensure that the economic burden does not fall heavily on ordinary citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his statement, Revilla called on agencies such as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Agriculture (DA) to activate emergency provisions under existing laws, including Republic Act No. 7581 (Price Act), to stabilize prices and protect consumers. He also warned against profiteering and abusive practices, urging strict enforcement against individuals or businesses that exploit the situation through unjustified price hikes or hoarding of supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a responsible and precautionary call to action,\u201d Revilla noted. \u201cWe must ensure that any possible impact of the global crisis is addressed swiftly so that Filipino families do not immediately feel its weight.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revilla further expressed support for Malaca\u00f1ang\u2019s directive against price manipulation, underscoring the need for sustained vigilance and firm enforcement. He encouraged the public to remain alert and report any incidents of unfair pricing to the proper authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Agimat Partylist representative\u2019s appeal reflects a broader commitment to consumer protection and economic stability, highlighting the importance of preparedness in times of global uncertainty. (CTJ TEAM)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
