"Yung Ligo at Young's Town sardines ay P27 ang isa sa 7-11, samantalang P21 lang ito sa mga sari-sari store. Ang Tide bar P15 pero kung sa tindahan ka bibili P11 lang ito. Ang safeguard soap mabibili mo ng P38 samantalang P29 lang ito. Ang Kopiko P6 pero P12 sa 7-11. Ano yan, ginto ang presyo?" Marcos said.
"Presyo pa rin ang pinag-uusapan dito. Kombinyente ka ngang bumili, pero napakamahal naman ng bilihin, eh, di wala rin! Ano yan, walang magbabantay sa kanila, basta sila na lang ang magdidikta ng kanila presyo?" Marcos said in a press release.
