PUP JME Opens Its Doors to PRICEWISE—an Academic Event Strengthening Marketplace Literacy on December 20 at PUP Sta. Mesa, Manila
Empowering ethical choices, building lasting value—PUP Junior Marketing Executives proudly introduce PRICEWISE: Sustaining Market Uniformity, Creating Timeless Value, an academic event that presents pricing as a deliberate, ethical, and value-driven decision—one that is reflected not only in strategy, but in every aisle, on every shelf, and in every choice businesses make in today’s marketplace.
PRICEWISE is designed to deepen students’ understanding of Everyday Low-Pricing (EDLP) Marketing also known in the Philippines as Hard Discount Marketing, exploring both its strategic foundations and its impact on consumer dimensions within the Philippine grocery and retail industry. At its core, the event highlights how consistent pricing builds consumer trust, delivers long-term value, and strengthens financial sustainability for the marketplace—without compromising fairness or integrity.
Grounded in purpose, the event aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Quality Education, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Partnerships for the Goals. Through informed discussions, collaborative and practical competitions, and immersive learning experiences, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how a transparent and responsible marketplace is shaped. These activities serve as an eye-opener, encouraging students to view pricing not merely as a financial tool but as a deliberate and ethical decision—one that balances affordability, sustainability, and fairness, the core principles at the heart of PRICEWISE.
