Senator Juan Edgardo 'Sonny' Angara is seeking a policy that will direct government agencies to prioritize locally manufactured products for their office requirements.
"We need to have a policy in place wherein priority is given to local manufacturers in the procurement process," said Sen. Juan Edgardo Angara. Voltaire F. Domingo/ Senate PRIB/ File photo
The lawmaker issued the statement after the second hearing on Senate Bill 2218 or the proposed Tatak Pinoy Act, which provides preference to domestically produced and manufactured goods, supplies and materials in the procurement activities of the government. “What we want to establish, as part of our Tatak Pinoy advocacy, is a design identity for the Philippines. We want to create a Philippine brand that will be even more renowned than it already is right now. We can do this by scaling up industries and making them more competitive, particularly in the global marketplace,” he added.
But the lawmaker said this is not enough to make an impact on the effort to support local industries.
