ZAMBOANGA CITY, Dec. 10 (PNA) -- As a present to residents this Christmas season, the Department of Trade and Industry - Zamboanga City Office (DTI - ZCO) is holding a two-day “Noche Buena Diskwento Caravan” in this city.

Engr. Rolando Acuña, DTI-ZCO director, said the caravan kicked off Saturday, December 10, at the Tetuan Plaza and would end Sunday, December 11.

Acuña said the “Noche Buena” products sold at discounted prizes include ham, fruit cocktail, cheese, sandwich spread, mayonnaise, queso de bola, pasta, macaroni, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and creamer, among others.

Acuña said at least 10 percent discount is being given by participating stores and distributors in the two-day caravan.

“The conduct of Diskwento Caravan is DTI’s way of bringing discounted products easy and more accessible to low income earners in time for the celebration of Christmas,” he stressed.

He said the caravan event is one of the mechanisms of the government to augment income and provide relief to workers through non-wage benefits.

He said that it is a public service conducted by DTI in partnership with big retailers and distributors.

Aside from the Noche Buena Diskwento Caravan, the DTI-ZCO also regularly holds Balik Eskwela Diskwento Caravan, Hariraya Diskwento Caravan, and Fiesta Pilar Diskwento Caravan here.
