 How Much is The Price of Sardines In the Philippines?


I have been away from the Philippines for too long. I started working abroad in 2006. A Small can of non-branded sardines at the time is between 7 pesos and 9 pesos.


I wonder how much it costs now?


DTI, the Philippine government agency regulating the prices of basic commodities in the Philippines posted the following suggested retail price for sardines and other basic commodities.


A Seller selling way beyond the suggested retail price will get into trouble. Their license to sell can be revoked by the government.


The Price of Sardines in the Philippines based on the suggested retail price posted by the Department of Trade and Industry are the following:
