In 2023 alone, the local sector has suffered losses amounting to P15 billion.

Cemex Philippines, in collaboration with local manufacturers, stands firmly behind policies that foster fair competition and long-term sustainability within the industry. Cemex Philippines has also pledged vigilance against violations of industry standards and unfair trade practices.
