DTI Surigao Norte releases SRP anew
By Susil D. Ragas
SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte, July 8 (PIA) - A
new suggested retail price (SRP) has been released by the Consumer Protection
and Advocacy Bureau (CPAB) under the Consumer Protection Group of the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) as of June this year.
This is the third time this year that CPAB made
such releases.
According to DTI Surigao del Norte Provincial
Director Celestino L. Negapatan, the suggested retail price is the selling
price suggested by the manufacturer of a product.
He said that the intention of the SRP is to help
standardize prices among locations, so all major retail establishments are
directed to set their selling prices within the SRP levels.
Negapatan added that the DTI price monitoring
activity, which is conducted monthly to major retail establishments is one way
of ensuring that retailers of products listed in SRPs will follow the guide in
their pricing.
“We provided all major retail establishments with
updated SRPs regularly, so there is no excuse for them to overprice their
products," said Negapatan.

(SRP) and other consumer related concerns just visit the DTI’s website at

Business Center, Burgos Street, Surigao City with telephone number (086)

BUTUAN CITY, July 8 (PIA) – The Department of
Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) as the lead agency of the Regional
Committee for the Welfare of Children (RCWC) is encouraging the public to take
involvement in the advocacy project of the Council for the Welfare of Children
(CWC) entitled “One Million Lapis.”
The council is aiming to collect 1,000,000 pieces
of pencils to be given to underprivileged pupils in elementary schools of 4th
and 6th class municipalities and to set a Guinness Book of Record for the
longest line of ‘lapis’.
“The campaign project was launched in November 2015
during the Zumbata kick-off of the 2015 National Children’s Month. The campaign
runs from March until October of this year,” said DSWD-13 regional director
Minda Brigoli.
She also encouraged the members of the RCWC
Regional Inter-Agency Committee on Filipino Family (RIAC-FF) to participate in
the said advocacy.
“Therefore, may we request the respective offices
to install improvised drop boxes for the pencils. The ‘lapis’ drop boxes will
be collected every two months by the DSWD and will closely coordinate with
CWC,” bared Brigoli.
The Regional Committee for the Welfare of Children
is the regional arm of the CWC, the focal government inter-agency body mandated
to formulate policies and plans, monitor the implementation and enforcement of
laws to protect and promote children’s rights by virtue of Presidential Decree
603, otherwise known as the Child and Youth Welfare Code. (VLG/PIA-Caraga)
Drug courier surrenders to media
By Eugenio “Jun” Lira, Jr.
SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte, Jul. 8 (PIA) - A
drug courier who acted as middleman for the supply of “shabu” to an island town
in Siargao Island surrendered on Thursday to members of the local media.
Edgar “Loloy” Dulpina, a licensed security guard
and sari-sari store owner, called it quits and personally surrendered to
anchorman Nestor Guballa of DxSJ-FM and anchorman Rey Suravasquez of JoyFM who
then turned him over to Surigao City Chief of Police PSupt Noel Silvosa, thru
PSI Tessiel Moleta, chief of Police and Community Relations, at about 1:30 p.m.
Guballa and Suravasquez, both members of the
National Union of Journalists of the Philippines-Surigao City Chapter, said
Dulpina, a resident of Nueva Extension, this city, used to deliver an
undetermined volume of “shabu” contained in packages to a certain “Luspe” in
the town of San Isidro, Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte.
They said the illegal substance was supplied to
Edgar “Loloy” Dulpina by a drug lord identified as a certain Ebong Paular known
as the drug source of Totong Dulpina, a big-time pusher and elder brother of
Loloy. Paular and Totong Dulpina are currently detained at the BJMP City Jail
on drug charges, it was learned.
PSupt. Silvosa lauded Guballa and Suravasquez for
helping the PNP in its anti-illegal drugs campaign saying it was inspiring to
know that members of the press were also concerned for “change” under President
Rodrigo Duterte’s administration.
PSI Moleta also thanked the two radiomen for
serving as bridges to woo drug personalities into turning a new leaf in their
lives to become law-abiding and productive citizens of the community. (FEA/PPA-Surigao/PIA-Caraga)
