DTI Consumer Protection Group (DTI-CPG) Undersecretary Atty. Ruth B. Castelo underscores the necessity of having the regulatory scheme on galvanized coils and sheets.. “Due to its geographical location, the Philippines is constantly battered by tropical cyclones, with approximately 20-25 tropical cyclones entering the Philippine area of responsibility yearly. With this circumstance, it is crucial to ensure the integrity and strength of construction materials in the country to withstand frequent storms. We are confident that this new DAO will address this concern to benefit all of us.”
