At the start of pandemic, this office ordered face mask at P220 a box; if I recall we ordered 20 boxes.
Hindsight now, the face mask can be bought for P5@ or P50.00 a box, or even at P40.00 at Lazada
I was being kidded for overpricing.
There were no available supplies then and if there were, the prices were really high. Now that supplies have increased, the demand tapered off, local manufacturers are now available,, prices have nose dived.
Disposable PPE used to cost P700.00 each. It can be had for P135.00 now.
And so dear Senators, since most of you have political ambitions and politics is thick in the air, the line of inquiry indeed is suspect
