CIAP complained that cement prices have risen by as much as 20 percent with a 40 kilogram bag of cement now selling between P160 to P170 per bag from the previous average price of P140 per bag.


The cost of deformed steel bars, the CIAP said, has also increased to P170 from the previous price of P145.
