[Title] => Cement makers, importers rap Roxas
[Summary] => Both local cement importers and manufacturers have expressed disappointment over the action taken by Trade and Industry Secretary Manuel Roxas II on imported cement.
Local consumer organizations said Roxas appears "to be acting as a lawyer for the cement industry at the expense of the consuming public."
"The ability of the local cement manufacturers to immediately bring down their prices in exchange for tariff protection is proof of an existing cement cartel," they said.

[Title] => More mergers among cement firms seen
[Summary] => The cement industry may be in for more consolidations and mergers as local cement companies attempt to recover from the collapse of the construction sector aggravated by intense competition from cheap imports.
Documents obtained by The STAR show that the cement industry is considering the possibility of further consolidations and operations mergers to achieve economies of scale and lower operating and administrative costs.
