In a statement on Thursday, Oct. 16, the CeMAP said it “respects the decision” of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to adopt the recommended measures of the Tariff Commission (TC).

The DTI on Tuesday said it will adopt the TC’s suggestion to slap a safeguard duty of P14, for a 40-kilogram bag or P349 per MT of ordinary Portland cement type 1 and blended cement for a period of three years.
