bury me in this dress

I want to encourage Facebook users to join Price Watch and post prices of goods here. I’ve been reading tweets and plurks that there are people, including government employees, are taking advantage of the crisis by selling overpriced food to victims. Jester also made a helpful blog post which lists who to contact when there are anomalies spotted.

For complaints regarding food and bottled water costs: report to the Department of Trade and Industry. Click this consumer complaint link to file a complaint online.

For complaints regarding LPG and other cooking fuel costs: report to the Department of Energy. Click their contact details here to find at least one person who will attend to us (I hope).

For complaints regarding the cost of medicines: report to the Department of Health. They have provided Health Emergency Management Service hotlines (+632) 711-1101 and (+632) 743-0538. With any luck we can depend on the Bureau of Food and Drugs; find from the BFAD contact information someone willing to talk to us. (So sorry folks, best I could do at short notice.)

For complaints regarding transportation fares: contact the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board. Click on the LTFRB complaint form to file a complaint online.

More information here.

It’s disgusting how some people are preying on the suffering of others.
