Bohol flower vendors raise prices as Undas season approaches

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol — Flower prices across Tagbilaran City have increased significantly in the lead-up to Undas, the annual tradition of visiting cemeteries to honor deceased loved ones on November 1 and 2. Price hikes ranging from P10 to P30 per arrangement have prompted vendors to adjust their sales strategies as the season draws near. Bundled flower arrangements have emerged as the primary alternative for budget-conscious shoppers seeking to purchase flowers for cemetery visits. Previously priced at P75, popular bundles now retail for P100, while larger arrangements have similarly increased in cost. Vendors report that bundled options allow customers to obtain quality flowers at more accessible price points compared to individual arrangements. The price adjustments reflect increased demand and higher procurement costs typical of the Undas season, when flower consumption peaks across the region. Flower vendors anticipate sustained brisk business throughout the coming weeks as families prepare for cemetery visits.
