The local government of Las Piñas City launched the “Kadiwa ng Pasko” market in line with the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) goal of addressing high prices of basic commodities.
Mayor Imelda Aguilar said the launch of Las Piñas “Kadiwa ng Pasko” market was held at Verdant covered court in Barangay Pamplona III.
Aguilar said the market opened on Friday, Nov. 18, and will continue its operation on Nov. 19, Dec. 3,4,17 and 18, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
She said customers can buy cheaper agricultural products from local farmers whose expenses are being shouldered by the government.
The mayor said the project, an initiative of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., will also help poor Filipino families buy cheaper goods in time of the holiday season.
Aguilar called on entrepreneurs who wish to set up booths at the event may contact the City Agricultural Office at their hotline number 8519-5687.
