SUBSTANDARD reinforcing bars or rebars have flooded markets in Luzon and Mindanao, the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute warned, raising the risk of construction failures.They said that random test purchases in Mindanao last September had found rebars that were below weight standards and also prone to brittleness. The results were the same for tests conducted in July by the Bureau of Philippine Standards for rebar from Northern Luzon, it claimed.
Rebar from Northern Luzon also failed to meet the minimum standard requirements for mass variation and elongation and were found in the provinces of Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, Isabela, and Nueva Vizcaya.
