At a Meeting called by DTI's Consumer Protection
and Advocacy Bureau (CPAB) on 2 May 2016 at the
Center Conference Room of the Trade & Industry
Building in Makati, manufacturers and retailers
were briefed by the Phil. Atmospheric, Geophysical
and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)
regarding the status of El Niño in the country. The
country is experiencing intense heat and it is affecting
the crops in the countryside. For April, 39 provinces
have declared a state of emergency. Around 31 will
be affected by May and 13 by June as the climate
slowly becomes cooler. However, the potential ill
effects of La Niña is waiting by the bend as "PAGASA" states that this phenomenon always ensues following
an El Niño. An El Niño/La Niña year takes place around
every five years but climate change is erratic now due
to global warming. DTI has monitored the areas
declaring a price freeze in view of the havoc brought
about by drought on fresh produce. It called this
Meeting to monitor the retail prices of basic
necessities and prime commodities to make sure
that drought does not translate to higher prices of
goods due to lack of fresh produce.
