“[Noong] mga nakaraang araw, minsan mayroon [benta], minsan wala. P190 lang ang benta. Mga panlalaki ang pinakamabenta, P10 lang ang pinakakita ng amo ko dito kasi ayaw niya magtaas [ng presyo] dahil sa kahirapan ng mga tao,” a vendor named Rizza Jane said.
Those who were in tight budget, there are stores in Divisoria offering affordable uniforms for students. Polo shirts for P260-P300 and blouses for P220-P250. Skirts usually cost P150-P260 and P180 for shorts.
Vendors can’t feel the spirit of back-to-school fever due to slack sales. Meanwhile, bag prices ranges from P250-P350 while shoe prices hit P350.

“Hindi pa masyado mabili kasi papalapit pa lang… mayroon na pakaunti-kaunti na bumibili. Mabenta ‘yong mga pang-kinder,” shoe vendor Christopher Galvez reiterated.
However, the vendors are still hoping an increase on their sales as class opening approaches.
