DA works with private sector, Congress for salt industry dev't
Excerpt
The government is awaiting the passage of bills that would modernize the salt industry. Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) national director Demosthenes Escoto said the law needs updating. “The existing law that we have on salt is still the old salt law, the old Iodization Act. There is a written initiative in the Congress and Senate, so the House of Representatives will pass the bill. For Senate, it will be open for deliberation on the plenary,” he said on Saturday, July 15.
