Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that a group of steel industry leaders urged the Department of Industry to file criminal charges against hardware store owners and local manufacturers found to be selling or producing substandard reinforcing steel bars (rebars), in light of a construction boom ushered in by the government’s “Build, Build, Build” initiative.
The Philippine Iron and Steel Institute had uncovered more evidence of stores in the Central Luzon provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Pampanga selling defective or low-quality rebars, said Joel Ronquillo, Pisi vice president for technical affairs.
Ronquillo said Pisi conducted a two day “market test-buy” to verify reports that substandard rebars were still being sold in the domestic market.
Of 14 hardware stores in the Central Luzon provinces from which Pisi bought steel bar samples from Feb. 28 to Mar. 1, seven were found to be selling underweight rebars while another store sold a rebar that was not the standard length, according to the Pisi report.
He said his group asked the Metals Industry Research and Development Center for third-party testing.
Ronquillo said in the group’s report that “This is obviously a burden not only for the legitimate rebar producers and manufacturers, but for consumers using substandard rebars without their knowledge.”
In a recent interview, Judith Angeles, DTI Central Luzon director, said her office was aware of the complaints and has sent a DTI monitoring team to inspect hardware stores.
Mr Angeles said that “We have issued notices of violation against those found to be selling defective steel products.”
