[Summary] => The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) reiterated yesterday its advice to the public to use only certified construction materials and electrical devices for homes, offices, schools and other structures to minimize damage resulting from earthquakes.
According to Trade Secretary Peter B. Favila, "natural disasters such as earthquakes cannot be prevented. However, we can avoid massive damage to property and loss of lives if we ensure that public structures are well-built, not only in terms of location, design or construction, but in the quality of materials used."

Incidentally, this year’s observance focuses on the theme: "Pamayanan: Sama-sama laban sa sunog."
