                    [Summary] => Local cement manufacturers and workers welcomed yesterday the decision of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to impose definitive safeguard measures on imported cement.


Philippine Cement Manufacturers  Corp. (Philcemcor) president Rico Alfiler said that the DTI’s decision to impose safeguard measures "levels the playing field with the cement industries of our Asian neighbors and is the correct policy decision to make given the current regional excess capacity situation we are in."
