00:00More than Php 1 million worth of unregistered appliances were seen in two warehouses in Bulacan.
00:08They were in danger of being stolen because they were not safe.
00:11And Jamie Santo was there.
00:17After receiving complaints from some consumers,
00:20verification, validation, surveillance, and test-buy were carried out
00:25by the Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau or FTEB of DTI in the warehouse in Plaridel, Bulacan.
00:30The appliances that were sold online were seen as unregistered, unsafe, and uncertified
00:36or did not pass inspection.
00:38Some of the unregistered appliances were seen were the washing machine, oven toaster, blender, electric fan, rice cooker, and multi-cooker.
00:46Upon checking, we saw that the rice cooker is not the only one that is not certified by the Bureau of Philippine Standards.
00:57We saw there the blenders, washing machine, electric fan, so that's it.
01:04So it's included there.
01:06More than Php 9.3 million worth of appliances were registered in two warehouses.
01:12When we say uncertified, this does not have a PS mark.
01:15This does not have an ICC.
01:17The PS mark is the Philippine Safety Mark.
01:19If you are a local manufacturer working here, you need to get a permit or license from the BPS of DTI.
01:27This is the Bureau of Philippine Standards.
01:29And if you are an importer, you should have an ICC, Import Commodity Clearance.
01:35The warehouses also do not have a permit, license, and safety mark.
01:39It is not safe and legal to use the products obtained here.
01:43You will not be able to leave it.
01:45It might explode, burn, and damage our lives and property.
01:48So it's dangerous.
01:50The products were confiscated.
01:52They will be disposed of and placed in DTI's warehouse for evidence.
01:57The agency of the owner or owner of the warehouse issued a violation.
02:01The owner of the warehouse, a foreign national, was able to talk to them.
02:06He is ready to help DTI.
02:08But he did not confront them and gave a statement to the media.
02:12Before this, a warehouse in Valenzuela City was also entered by FTEB,
02:17which also obtained unregistered and uncertified appliance.
