More Kadiwa stores roll out

Malacañang on Friday revealed that more Kadiwa outlets opened on Friday at various locations in Metro Manila in a bid for consumers to have access to cheaper products as well as to help fisherfolks and farmers market their produce.

To recall, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the simultaneous nationwide launch of the “Kadiwa ng Pasko” project in Mandaluyong City on 16 November.

Among the stores opened were the Kadiwa outlets in Caloocan City (Caloocan City Hall-South), Quezon City (VMMC Kadiwa Store, ADC Kadiwa Store-DA Central Office), Parañaque City (Petron station-Bgy. San Antonio, Paranaque City Hall), Pasig City (Petron Station-San Joaquin), Mandaluyong City (Farmers Collectives, The Podium, California Gardens Plaza), Las Piñas City (Shepherd Parish Manuela Pamplona 3, Southland Estate Town House), Makati City (Makati City Hall)and Cainta, Rizal (Liwasang Bayan).

In Caloocan City, the Kadiwa Store at the Caloocan City Hall C-Cube Complex is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

According to the Office of the Press Secretary, at the Kadiwa store, consumers can buy a kilo of rice for only P25 while sugar is at P70 per kilo, much cheaper than those being sold in private stores and supermarkets.
