TUGUEGARAO CITY, May 20 (PIA) –The Department of Trade and Industry – Cagayan (DTI-Cagayan) is set to conduct Balik Eskwela Diskwento Caravan sale on May 23-24, at the Paseo Reale Mall in this city.

DTI Cagayan Provincial Director Engr. Bernardino Mabborang said the caravan is an initiative of the department to give opportunity to parents and students to procure school supplies with prices lower than those in the market.

Mabborang added that some business partners selling school supplies are willing to join in the caravan as their effort also to promote public private partnership and alleviate poverty.

“We have a list of business establishments selling school and office supplies that are willing to join in the Diskwento Caravan. We are very sure that the items to be sold are affordable, with prices which are much lower than those sold in the regular market but are of good quality,” Mabborang said.

He said that the items to be sold in the caravan include bags, papers, pencils, ballpens, crayons, notebooks, coloring pens, raincoats, umbrellas and other school and office supplies.
