MANILA, Philippines — Amid public fears over melamine-tainted milk products, milk producers might lower their prices by about 10 to 20 percent, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said Thursday.

Arroyo, while inspecting Save More supermart in the Nagtahan area in Manila, told consumers that the price of Alaska brand milk, for example, has gone down.

“Alaska has brought down its prices. I noticed the housewives were buying Alaska. Bread prices will not go up for the rest of the year,” said Arroyo during the inspection.
