President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the government is looking forward to purchasing locally manufactured building materials that will be used for future infrastructure projects.
The Chief Executive said the proposal forwarded by PSAC, headed by businessman Sabin Aboitiz, is a step toward the right direction as preference and priority in the procurement of government projects should be given to local products that meet the specified or desired quality. The President also ordered the Department of Budget and Management , through the Government Procurement Policy Board, to complement the policy of giving preference to local materials through relevant guidelines, subject to existing laws, rules, and regulations.
Members of the PSAC asked the government’s support to patronize the local industry as they emphasized that the Philippines have a lot of talents and products that are world-class quality, “if not at par even better” from its neighboring countries.
