MANILA -- The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Wednesday imposed a price freeze on basic goods and services in parts of Central Luzon which were devastated by typhoon Egay.

The DTI said the price freeze will last for 60 days in the following areas:

  • Pampanga
  • Bulacan
  • Bataan
  • Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija,
  • Camiling, Tarlac
  • Paniqui, Tarlac

The said areas have been placed under a state of calamity following the onslaught of typhoon Egay and the southwest monsoon.

Under Republic Act 7581 or the Price Act, the price freeze must be terminated after 60 days unless sooner lifted by the Philippine president.
