Local manufacturers are elevating their lobby for a zero tariff on all raw
materials that are not produced locally to the Electronic Coordinating Council
(ECC), as the Tariff Commission finalizes the rationalization of the country's
tariff structure.

In a letter to the Economic Monitoring Group (EMG) the Federation of Philippine

by the ECC, the economic superbody that settles major macro-economic policy
