With consumers starting to flock to retail and wholesale stores for their early holiday shopping, a Quezon City councilor asked the city’s Market Development and Administration Department (MDAD) and other concerned city offices to begin conducting surprise inspections of weighing scales in wet markets and similar establishments.

Councilor Victor Ferrer Jr. issued the call after receiving complaints that some consumers were victimized by errant traders and vendors using defective weighing scales.

The two markets have been constantly the subject of complaints of having defective weighing scales prompting Reyes to call concerned offices to start their rounds of such establishments. Assuming 50 clients are duped by the unscrupulous vendors daily, Ferrer said the public stands to lose P1,200 per day due to the defective weighing scales.

If possible, Ferrer urged the public to purchase their daily market needs in reputable markets and supermarkets to escape the duping ways of deceitful and corrupt traders.
