The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has released its “Gabay sa Pamimili ng School Supplies” or Price Guide on school supplies.

Through its Fair Trade Group (FTG), the DTI highlights price reductions for various school supplies, aiming to provide more affordable options for consumers as students prepare for the upcoming school year.

“As we continue to pursue President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Bagong Pilipinas agenda, the DTI is committed to ensuring that Filipino families have access to reasonably priced school supplies,” said DTI Secretary Cristina A. Roque.

“We know how challenging it can be for parents to prepare their children for school, so this Price Guide is our way of easing that burden—making sure students can return to the classroom equipped, confident, and ready to learn without putting too much strain on the family budget,” the trade chief added.
