                    [Summary] => The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is clamping down on substandard steel bars following warnings by local architects about the proliferation of such products that could endanger the lives of unsuspecting home and building dwellers.


About 10 tons or 5,000 pieces of uncertified deformed steel bars worth nearly P500,000 is set to be destroyed by the DTI.


According to Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila, uncertified deformed steel bars are likely to be substandard when they do not bear manufacturer’s identifying mark or logo and the bar size.

Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) sees the peso weakening in the second quarter. SCB, one of the oldest banks operating in the country, is also forecasting a cut in interest rates and a slow down in gross domestic product (GDP) growth for 2007.


In a presentation, SCB regional economist Frances Cheung said the peso will weaken in the second quarter due to poor investor sentiments and anxiety over the results of the May elections.

                    [Summary] => The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is clamping down on substandard steel bars following warnings by local architects about the proliferation of such products that could endanger the lives of unsuspecting home and building dwellers.


About 10 tons or 5,000 pieces of uncertified deformed steel bars worth nearly P500,000 is set to be destroyed by the DTI.


According to Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila, uncertified deformed steel bars are likely to be substandard when they do not bear manufacturer’s identifying mark or logo and the bar size.
