Even though Valentine’s Day is still a few days away, flower sellers in Dangwa in Manila are eager, especially since this Feb-Ibig is making their business strong.
According to the sellers, the supply of their flower suppliers such as Baguio is gradually increasing.
But so far they have not raised the price. The sale of flowers has slowed down in recent months due to the pandemic.
They hope that in the coming days they will be able to recover their investments.
Some of the flowers for sale today are as follows:
- Roses range from P300-P350 per dozen
- Baby Roses P250-P350 per dozen
- Sunflower P100 per piece/stem
- Ecuadorian Rose P250 per piece stem
The price of the bouquet ranges from P350 to P1,500.
