A Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) monitoring report on local cement prices shows that in a short period of two months, there has been a P5-increase in the price of Portland cement.
The increase is deemed anomalous by the DTI, Roxas said, because it happened during the rainy season when demand for cement is presumably low.
