He said that they will also work on helping those affected by the government’s measures to keep commodity prices low such as retailers, small traders, and market stallholders.

HOR will likewise help agriculture and other related sectors solve the supply and production sides of commodity price issues through sufficient funding in the national budget, Romualdez added.
