Increased number of Christmas Bazaars

The increased number of Christmas Bazaars is due to the

demand of the consumers. It seems that everyone will buy

something for themselves or buy gift for their love ones. The

demand and supply are both high but not equal.

This is an opportunity for the producers for they will earn more

profits. They increase their supply than the usual way because the

demand is higher during this season. The police is being more alert

in this season because criminals is also in need so there are more

aggressive during this season. There is an increased number of

Christmas bazaars because consumers often dont want to add in

the number of people going to malls for shopping and it is more

convenient to go to Christmas bazaars near to their place.

Availability of Provincial Transportation
The demand hike on the availability of Provincial Transportation

is very alarming during holidays, long weedends, and vacations. The

consumers or users of different transportation had different ways to

avoid interruptions during these seasons to have a hassle free going

home. The wise consumers book their travels, made reservations as

early as months or three weeks before their vacation.

The producers, or businesses related to transportation like buses,

airlines and boat had the advantage during this seasons because

business is in demand but always suffer from shortage because the

demand is greater than their supply. The tendency is that the

employees work twice harder than usual to reach the demand like

the provincial buses who demand their drivers to have an

immediate return after reaching destination to fulfil the demand.

The government issues traffic laws to prevent heavy traffic going

out from manila to the provinces. They also implemented number

coding to also avoid traffic. They did not have any shortcoming

regarding in giving warning and advices to the public about traffics

and updates about the demand in provincial transportations. The

international trade which involves airlines is also in demand for

those who prefer to have a vacation abroad.

Increased Prices of Petroleum Products
Petroleum Products seems to increase yearly at the beginning

of the year then had only a little rollback in the following month. The

Philippine petroleum companies only depends on the prices the

producers are giving them. The common producers of petroleum in

the Philippines is often abroad so they dont have choice if they

increase their price, they also need to increase their price. This is a

burden to the consumers especially to the business related to

transportation.
The ordinary drivers of jeep and tricycle are really affected

because their profit decreases. It decreases because the fare is not

getting high. The passengers is not that affected with the increased

prices of petroleum products because their fare is still the same. The

deliveries of food products are also affected and the sellers often

increased the price of their products to get back their additional

expense due to the increased of petroleum products. In this

scenario buyers or consumers are affected because products get

high. The government supervised the companies of petroleum and

see to it that their prices are still reasonable.

MMFF 2016 Box Office Sales
All the movies of the Metro Manila Film Festival 2016 are indie

films. The producers chooses rise to the indie films and believed

that it would increase their profits and I believed that for the sake of

art and those really loves movies will appreciate it even if it has low

budget for the film, the quality is still there. The MMFF needs to earn

millions to help beneficiaries like the Movie Workers Welfare Fund

(Mowelfund), the Motion Picture Anti-Piracy Council, the Film

Academy of the Philippines (FAP) and the Film Development Council

of the Philippines (FDCP).

The expectation of higher profits has not been reached

because it has a lesser profit than the other years. Moviegoers has

decreased may be because of interest in the movie or their idols are

not in the movie. Even how the MMFF Producers promote their

movies they would not reach their expected profit. The government

specifically MTRCB had review the movies carefully before releasing

it.
The producers or management of MMFF should consider the

interest of the public and produce movies accordingly and with the

proper supervision of the MTRFB.
