Philippines: The Philippine Cement Importers Association (PICA) has supported the Department of Trade and Industry’s measures to regulate cement imports. The association has also proposed that imported cement be tested upon entry, according to the Manila Standard newspaper.

“The PCIA is categorically against importation of sub-standard cement. In fact, the PCIA has proposed to take an active part in monitoring and enforcement against sub-standard cement whether imported or locally manufactured,” said PICA’s executive director Dani Enriquez. He added that sub-standard cement would be bad for business and the country’s infrastructure program.
