PRICE MONITORING.

Department of Agriculture assistant secretary for agribusiness, marketing and consumer affairs Genevieve Velicaria-Guevarra leads the inspection of 10 public markets to check their compliance with the maximum suggested retail price (MSRP) for pork, as the latest data show that only 20 percent to 25 percent of markets in the National Capital Region (NCR) follow the MSRP set at P300 per kilogram of freshly slaughtered carcass, P350/kg. for pigue (leg/ham) and kasim (shoulder) and P380/kg. for liempo (pork belly).
