KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato, May 7 (PIA) -- Parents will receive support from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) as they try to look for low-priced school supplies of their children with the opening of classes on June 4. | |||
Elbert Capecio senior trade and industry development specialist of DTI-South Cotabato said they are now preparing for the staging of the three-day “Balik-Eskwela Diskwento Caravan” where school supplies such as notebooks, pens and pencils, coloring tools, and many others, as well as uniforms, bags and shoes, will be offered on discounted prices. | |||
Capecio said, the Balik-Eskwela Caravan in South Cotabato will be held on May 16, 17, and 18 in Koronadal City “Instead of the usual practice of gathering producers, manufacturers, and other participants in one place, the school supplies will be sold inside the participating malls, and stores.” | |||
He identified the participating stores as KCC Mall of Marbel, Ace Centerpoint, Gaisano Grand Mall, and Starbright Store. | |||
The decision not to gather the participating entities in one place, he explained, was in response to some concerns like pilferage and additional effort and expenses to install booths. | |||
Capecio added that based on their monitoring, there has not been changes in the prices of school supplies in the province. | |||
Besides the Balik-Eskwela Diskwento Caravan next week, DTI-South Cotabato is also preparing for a major discount during South Cotabato province’s T’nalak Festival in July. (DEDoguiles-PIA 12) | |||
