The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Pangasinan, in partnership with CSI Lucao and Magic Calasiao, has officially launched the Balik-Eskwela Diskwento Caravan: “Presyong Panalo para sa Mamimiling Pilipino” school supplies edition. This initiative aims to support Filipino families, especially parents and students, by providing access to affordable and discounted school supplies as preparations for the forthcoming school year begin. It also helps ease the financial burden of back-to-school expenses by bringing school items closer to consumers.

As part of the activity, DTI Pangasinan also conducted price and supply monitoring of various school supplies to ensure fair pricing and availability. Based on the monitoring results, prices of school items are still within, and in some cases even lower than, the 2026 DTI Price Guide, assuring consumers that they are getting reasonable prices. The agency continues to remind the public to be vigilant and informed when purchasing school essentials, especially during peak season when demand is high.

With the expected start of classes on June 8, consumers are encouraged to start purchasing school supplies early to avoid the rush and ensure availability of needed items. The Diskwento Caravan also serves as an opportunity for consumers to save while securing quality school materials, reinforcing DTI’s commitment to consumer protection and fair-trade practices in Pangasinan.

🌿 Strengthening Global Partnerships through Bamboo Innovation 🌿

On May 4, 2026, as part of efforts to strengthen international linkages and promote the local bamboo industry, a benchmarking visit was facilitated for foreign clients from Indonesia and the United Kingdom at CS First Bamboo Factory Incorporated. The delegation included representatives from DCUK (The Duck Company UK), a UK-based enterprise known for its handcrafted duck figurines made from bamboo roots and hand-painted by skilled artisans in Indonesia.

The visit aimed to explore potential collaboration and sourcing opportunities, positioning CS Bamboo Factory Incorporated as a prospective supplier for the UK market. During the activity, the company provided a comprehensive presentation on its bamboo processing operations, including the production of bamboo flooring and bamboo briquettes. The discussion also covered the lifecycle of bamboo—from seedling propagation to harvesting—highlighting sustainability practices and production timelines.

Mr. Jesus Benebe, Marketing Manager of CS Bamboo Factory Incorporated, showcased a range of finished products and introduced an innovative concept using 5x5 bamboo blocks as an alternative raw material for crafting duck figurines. This alternative material presents a promising option for product diversification while maintaining quality and sustainability standards.

The delegation, which included Mr. Craig Wensley and Indonesian exporter Mr. Noro Ardanto, expressed strong interest and satisfaction with the visit. The engagement opened potential avenues for collaboration and product development aligned with international market requirements.
