CeMap president Rico Alfiler, in a public hearing conducted yesterday by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), said that the safeguard duty has been successful in reducing the influx of cheap imported cement and thus keeping local cement plants viable.


Alfiler reported that because of the safeguard, there has been no major plant shutdown and no lay-off of workers.
