"Stable prices would allow more money for the payment of tuition fees and other household expenses," Concepcion said.


For the industrial sector, Concepcion said the lowering of the PPA charges will help bring down the cost of raw materials, resulting in stable prices and making Philippine exports more competitive globally.
