Retailers at Baguio City's public markets have expressed their commitment to comply with the government-imposed price cap of P50 per kilogram of rice, according to a report by the Philippine News Agency .
The price ceiling, which took effect earlier this month, aims to make rice more affordable for consumers amid rising food costs. Market vendors in Baguio have assured the local government that they will adhere to the mandated price, with some even lowering their prices voluntarily to support the initiative.
Local authorities have been conducting monitoring visits to ensure compliance, and so far, no major violations have been reported. The cooperative stance of Baguio's retailers is seen as a positive step toward stabilizing rice prices in the region, benefiting both consumers and the supply chain.
