There are revised product standards on roofing materials and ceramic tiles. I understand the new guidelines took effect on April 16, 2021.
The product standards on roofing materials promote safety and quality, while the mandatory certification of ceramic tiles is a form of restrictive government regulation .
For the information of the consumers , construction materials are listed as prime commodity that may be subject to Suggested Retail Prices in normal times and to a mandated price ceiling in times of calamity and emergencies.
I shall inform consumers of what to look for when buying roofing materials at their favorite barangay hardware shops and hardware depots.
