                    [Summary] => The planned entry of Hong Kong’s top retailer Watson’s  into the Philippines will break the near monopoly of Mercury Drugstore on the local retail drug and cosmetic sector.


This was implied yesterday by Trade and Industry Manuel Roxas II who disclosed that the local retail drug and cosmetic sector is currently dominated by Mercury Drugstore.

Mercury currently controls about 70 percent of the market, and its near monopoly has led to consumer complaints about its "exorbitant" and "over-priced" drugs.
