Despite hiking prices, the company still expects better sales for February which also usually sees an uptick in chocolate purchases. This is also due to the easing of restrictions when people now are going out more often to restaurants compared to the last two years.

"Even in our own sales, it really peaks on Valentine's Day. It demonstrates that all Filipinos or most Filipinos show their love by giving sweet stuff and sweet is equal to chocolates," Arcilla said.
