Sa inilabas mismong “sample basket” noche buena items ng DTI ay aabot na agad sa P526 ang presyo ng mga sangkap ng spaghetti at macaroni salad. Hindi pa kabilang dito ang mga pampalasa tulad ng bawang, sibuyas, asin at paminta; pati na rin ang pamasahe.

I think this is well known to the Filipino leftists here, but I just want to post here about that, since its the time of year where ‘noche buena’ is going to be needed for a good christmas time.

I’m sure if you’ve seen the other articles, and people calling the ‘500 pesos for noche buena’ an out-of-touch statement, this is old news, but I just want to post it here since I found it interesting to document here specifically, as a view into the cultural effect of the current situation sa Filipinas.
