What is Cement Cartel?

Cement is one of the modern inventions this modern civilization enjoyed for generations. Most of our modern structures are dependent on cement. Whenever we make houses or buildings, we need cement. We used it on our roads, buildings, churches, schools, hospitals, malls and so on. Almost all of our structures need cement for constant repairs and restorations.

In recent news, I was surprised when I found out that garlic already had a cartel. I thought that the word cartel is only synonymous with drugs and Mexico. But since there is a shortage of garlic, it also becomes expensive that the price of garlic is starting to go up.

I came across an editorial online about Cement Cartel. It says that there are someone in a government agency is not complying with President Durterte’s recent SONA’s statement about corruption. They allow importing the expensive cement to our country. The cement distributors charges 300 per bag instead of 197. This is troublesome because it will affect the prices of other consumer products.

Our government is spending our tax money to continue making our roads safer. Starting now, I am going to feature more about cement cartel in further posts and I want to hear from you what do you think about cement cartel and the video in this post. Feel free to voice out.
