                    [Summary] => Cement prices have soared by close to a staggering 300 percent during the past few years due to the insidious manipulation of the foreign cement cartel, Sen. Manuel Villar charged yesterday.


Villar stressed that from as low as P40 per bag in the 1990s, cement now costs between P130 to as high as P150 per bag. "This reflects a staggering increase of close to 300 percent," said Villar. As recent as December 1998, cement only cost P44 per bag.
