                    [Summary] => Sen. Mar Roxas has urged the Department of Trade and Industry to consider the removal of the safeguard duty on cement as prices of the construction material have continued to move up.


Roxas, who served as trade secretary prior to running for the Senate, said the continued rise in the price of local cement is a sign that the domestic manufacturers are now ready to face up to foreign competition.
