Business owners told to sell face shields at a fair price

Bureau of Permits Director Levi Facundo warned on Tuesday, August 11, business owners not to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic against the consuming public.

This after his office received reports that some businesses in the City of Manila are selling face shields at P100 per piece.

"I don't think this is the time to take advantage of our public," Facundo said.

"Nasa panahon po tayo ng pandemya, maraming nahihirapan. Alam kong apektado rin ang negosyo, pero apektado rin ang mamimili natin dahil sila'y nawalan rin ng trabaho, ng hanap-buhay," he added.

While the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has not yet released an official suggested retail price (SRP) for face shields, Facundo said that its price should not go beyond P25.

According to Facundo, once there is an official SRP already on face shields, his office will strictly monitor the pricing of all businesses in the nation's capital.

Businesses caught selling face shields above the SRP may result to the issuance of show cause orders, Facundo said.

The Permits chief also advised the consuming public to take extra precaution in buying medical equipment online as they may be scammed.

"If you feel na ang isang nagbebenta ay hindi legit o kaya hindi nag-ooverprice, let us know. We will coordinate with DTI, we will send them show cause order, and pagpapaliwanagin natin," Facundo said.
