00:00 Parents are desperate for last minute shopping of school supplies in Divisoria.
00:06 Let's take a look at the situation in the words of Karen Villanda.
00:09 Just one night, and you're already in.
00:14 That's why the last minute shoppers of school supplies in Divisoria are desperate.
00:19 Just like Lily-Lybeth, who was more determined to buy school supplies today.
00:24 Because the stores might have already been priced.
00:27 Why did you buy it now?
00:29 Last minute shopping. You know Filipinos.
00:32 Last minute shopping.
00:34 So you didn't buy more?
00:36 No, because last time I went to Canvas, it was more expensive than now.
00:42 Lily-Lybeth's budget is P1,500 for her three students.
00:47 But earlier, she only had P670.
00:51 She already bought notebooks last week.
00:54 How much?
00:55 P670.
00:56 Congratulations, sis, you're in the budget.
00:59 Yes.
01:00 Is everything there?
01:01 Yes. I still have something that's missing.
01:03 What's missing?
01:04 Their tumblers.
01:05 Tumblers?
01:06 According to the store owners, to save money, it's better to buy wholesale.
01:11 P380 for 10 pieces of spring book.
01:15 P280 for an ordinary spring book for P200 in a writing notebook.
01:21 You can also buy file case for P150 and plastic envelope for P75.
01:29 You can also buy sticker for the subject of notebooks for P25 for 16 pieces.
01:35 For lapis, P100 for a dozen.
01:39 For ball pen, P70 for 12 pieces is the cheapest.
01:43 For crayons, P35 to P350 depending on the number of colors.
01:49 According to the store owners, they almost didn't lower their prices even though it's their last minute shopping.
01:54 But they said that they can afford it.
01:56 Before, we didn't lower the price because there's no stock.
02:01 So the price really increased.
02:04 I just tell them that you can buy here because I'll give you a discount.
02:10 But it's only P1.
02:12 Reggie blames that he hasn't sent his order online yet.
02:18 This is the only thing I'm lacking.
02:19 I bought the notebooks first because it's hard to buy them at the same time.
02:22 How's the price now?
02:25 It's more expensive than before.
02:27 Why?
02:29 I thought that it's cheaper here.
02:32 It's cheaper when you shop.
02:34 But some stores are already lowering their prices because tomorrow is the market day.
02:39 P140 for a uniform for P170.
02:45 Sometimes, it's for rice or for wholesale.
02:47 Some stores are already selling their stock.
02:49 Of course, they'll just sell it to the other stores.
02:52 The store owners said that it's cheaper to use the school in Divisoria or to start classes.
02:58 But it still depends on their supply.
03:00 Karen Villanda for Sabayan.
