Parañaque City gov't orders strict enforcement of price freeze on basic goods
The Parañaque City government, through its Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO), is strictly enforcing an ordinance mandating a price freeze on basic goods.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez ordered monitoring of supermarkets, public markets, and other establishments to ensure compliance with the price freeze mandated by the Department of Trade and Industry.
A joint team from the BPLO and the Consumer Welfare Office (CWO) has been dispatched to conduct these monitoring activities.
The city ordinance penalizes profiteering during emergencies, and violations can lead to the cancellation of business permits and blacklisting of erring establishments.
The barangay will also be furnished a copy of any business permit cancellations.
