THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) last week released supplemental guidelines to the mandatory certification requirements for selling Portland cement and blended hydraulic cement. The updated rules aim to strengthen consumer protection, ensure accurate product labeling, and close regulatory gaps that emerged after the original rules took effect. Portland and blended hydraulic cements are the foundational binding agents for modern concrete. They are popular because they are highly economical, widely available, and harden underwater. They also offer superior long-term durability and a lower carbon footprint.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/06/15/business/top-business/new-rules-address-misleading-imported-cement-labels/2365086 (ICE SINGAPORE)
