Philippine makers of PPEs seek tax breaks from government


MANILA, Aug 14 (Philippine Inquirer/ANN): A group of companies that repurposed their plants to make personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers is now asking the government for help, as they struggle against the influx of imported PPEs.

The newly formed Confederation of Philippine Manufacturers of PPE (CPMP) wants certain measures to be included in the Bayanihan 2 bill, such as the exemption of locally made PPEs from taxes and fees.
