ILIGAN CITY (PIA) – The Department of Trade Industry Lanao del Norte (DTI - LDN) together with the local government of Iligan rolled out the two-day Balik Eskwela Diskwento (Back to School Discount) Caravan to sell affordable school supplies and basic goods to the public amidst the pandemic.

Sixteen manufacturers and distributors of basic necessities and prime commodities joined in the caravan including the National Food Authority and City Agriculturist Office.

“Atleast mga 10 percent discount ang ilang gihatag sa ilang baligya karon,” Luz Galda, officer-in-charge of DTI LDN. 

[They are giving at least 10 percent discount on their products.]

Meanwhile, Joy Gordo of Barangay Buruun is happy because she was able to buy cheap school supplies for her child.

 “Okay sya kay makaless mi kaysa muadto mi sa ilang store jud nga lahi ang presyo didto. Nagpasalamat ko nga nakaless ko sa ilang presyo diri,” she said.

[This was really good because I was able to buy cheaper products here than at their store. I'm grateful that I was able to avail a lesser price.]

The caravan was held at the Iligan City Public Plaza until August 19.

DTI LDN also partnered with Mr. P Express Iligan for free delivery in the first three kilometers from the public plaza. (LELA/PIA-10-Lanao del Norte)
