The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has once again come to the rescue of Filipino consumers by releasing its annual “Gabay sa Pamimili ng School Supplies” price guide. With the new school year just around the corner, this comprehensive guide aims to assist parents and students in making informed decisions when purchasing school supplies.
This year’s price guide features a wider selection of school supplies, with a total of 173 stock keeping units (SKUs) compared to 117 last year. The good news is that over 68 percent of the listed SKUs have maintained the same price as last year, providing price stability for consumers. Only 24 percent of the items saw a price increase, which is relatively low considering the current economic challenges.
From notebooks to pencils, crayons to rulers, the price guide covers a wide range of essential school items. Notebooks are priced between P11.80 to P52, while pad paper for Grades 1-4 varies from P9.50 to P61. Writing materials like pencils and ballpoint pens range from P11 to P33 and P3 to P33, respectively. Crayons come in various pack sizes and prices, starting as low as P12 for an eight-color box. Sharpeners, rulers, and erasers are also included in the guide, with prices ranging from P15 to P69 for sharpeners, P16 to P29 for rulers, and P4.50 to P20 for erasers.
To ensure that consumers make informed purchases, the DTI recommends checking school supply labels, manufacturer information, the number of leaves in notebooks/paper, and other relevant details. DTI Secretary Alfredo Pascual encourages consumers to buy school supplies from companies that comply with labeling requirements and to use the price guide while shopping. The guide clearly indicates which SKUs have maintained their prices or have not increased, helping consumers make smart choices.
This price guide is just one of the many initiatives of the DTI aimed at protecting consumers and promoting fair trade practices in the market. By providing consumers with transparent pricing information, the DTI empowers them to make informed decisions and exercise their rights as buyers. In case of any violations of product quality standards or unfair pricing practices, consumers are encouraged to report these issues to the DTI for proper action.
As the new school year approaches, parents and students can rely on the DTI’s “Gabay sa Pamimili ng School Supplies” price guide to help them navigate the often overwhelming task of buying school supplies. With price stability and a wide selection of items covered in the guide, consumers can shop with confidence and peace of mind.
