3 container vans of sardines arriving in Iloilo
Three container vans loaded with sardines will arrive here on July 13 to replenish the dwindling supply in the market.
Regional Director Dominic Abad of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said the new stock of sardines will come from Zamboanga City.
Western Visayas has experienced some shortage of canned goods because of the ongoing relief operation for the typhoon victims.
The supply of sardines will be ferried by the shipping line WGA Superferry.
The suspension of shipping operation of Sulpicio Lines following the sinking of one of its vessels, M/V Princess of the Stars, has affected the shipment of goods.
The shipping company serves about 40 percent of shipping services in the country. (PNA)
