DTI-Bulacan warns ‘guerilla’ glass retailers
CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Bulacan conducted recently a seminar on how to detect fake flat glass to warn consumers as reports cited that hundreds of “guerilla” glass retailers are operating in the province.
DTI-Bulacan director Rhine Aldana said many flat glasses which are used in making windows, doors and high-rise buildings are substandard and pose hazard to consumers especially to children.
“Many flat glasses are imported and there is no problem if they were, but if they are smuggled, the consumers will be left pitiful. They will just be surprised that their glasses will fall and children might be hit,” said Aldana in the seminar which was first conducted in Bulacan among Central Luzon provinces.
According to Virna Liza Villareal, press relations director of Flat Glass Alliance of the Philippines, Inc., there were reports that poor quality flat glasses in malls had fallen and injuries were cited.
Villareal said that they had apprehended fake retailers in Central Luzon and had sealed their products with the help of DTI.
“A glass cooked less is sensitive to temperature that it could break. They might have distortion in the surface, blemishes, thickness and low transmittance of light,” said Villareal.
A fake glass, she added, has defects like chipping, scratches, bubbles and stones.
Oscar Caluag, president of Bahay Bulacan Hardware Association, Inc., said hundreds of guerilla glass retailers or those who contract and install aluminum and glass at a cheaper price are difficult to apprehend.
He said the underground contractors could operate with the use only of “simple equipment” like screwdriver, glasscutter, saw and electric drill.
With this, Aldana said they would coordinate with local government units and monitor glass retailing shops which would be followed by inspection and confiscation operations when found culpable of selling substandard glasses.
“Legal vendors and consumers could contact DTI. We want to educate not only the retailers but the consumers,” said Aldana. (CLJD/JMG)
