                    [Summary] => The Bureau of Customs is imposing anew a safeguard duty on gray portland cement imports excepts those that originate from a developing country if its share to total Philippine imports of the product is less than three percent.


Customs Commissioner Antonio Bernardo said the reimposition of the duty was made after the Court of Appeals denied the petition of the Philippine Cement Corp. questioning the decision of the Department of Trade and Industry to impose a levy on the importation of the product.

                    [Summary] => The collapse of the local cement industry could have a devastating effect on the banking industry.


This was the warning yesterday of lawyer Susan Villanueva, counsel of the Philippine Cement Corp. (Philcemcor).


According to Villanueva, local banks have a $500 million or P27 billion (at P53 to $1) exposure to the local cement industry resulting from the refinancing of the dollar-denominated loans of several cement manufacturers.
