TO protect local manufacturers and their workers, lawmakers want Congress to investigate the rampant online sales of substandard and counterfeit products, mostly from China.
House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo revealed that hundreds of thousands of workers will be affected and could lose their jobs if the rampant online sales of substandard and counterfeit products, mostly from China, are not curtailed.
He said as many as 15 business owners, primarily manufacturers and sellers of appliances, personally approached his office seeking help as their businesses have been severely affected by the widespread sale of substandard and counterfeit products sold at lower prices. “Let’s not wait until these companies are completely bankrupt and forced to shut down before we take action, when hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens have already lost their jobs,” Tulfo urged.
