:89: Hey Guys & G's,  I asked if we found it an expensive Lockdown, Plenty of other Threads on How long etc. :smile:

Just bought some San Mig @ 770 a case, the small bottles. I remember paying 580 a case in December. That's some price hike. How much are you guys paying?

I do not drink beer, but the local rot gut was p95, for a 750 ml bottle, before the new tax... and is p95 now.  (well during the liquor ban the black market price was higher, but it would be ha ha).

Here in Iloilo I'd pay 42php for SM Light normally but i don't bulk buy. During alcohol ban I'm paying 60php so a very hefty jump. Profiteering on one hand and a risk premium on the other.

I would never condone taking part in any black market activity (and would certainly never admit doing so...) but I heard some prices here... just hearsay, mind you.  A p90 bottle of Tanduay or Emerador was going for p250 (sold by a barangay official, so the rumor goes).   A dump truck driver got arrested nearby for trying to smuggle in cases of rum. Some cops got arrested going into the next province with a truck full of rum.  

The ban has been lifted again, so prices should go back to normal. Until it gets banned again next week ha ha

Well, the last case of San Mig I bought (in Bicol) cost p130.

That must have been in 1991 though. :89:
