00:00To those who are preparing for Aguinaldo this Christmas,
00:04be careful if hygiene products are what you will be giving away.
00:08In two villages in Bulacan,
00:10there are two warehouses that have a mechanism.
00:13John Consulta was able to find it.
00:15Exclusively!
00:19As soon as the operatives entered this warehouse in Buzo, Bulacan,
00:23I don't want to buy anything there!
00:25the equipment used in making
00:28soap, shampoo, and perfume
00:30as well as drum-drums for making it.
00:33In the neighboring town of Marilao,
00:35there is also a similar warehouse.
00:37According to the NBI,
00:39soap products are sold in small and online stores.
00:42But authorities say
00:44it is dangerous.
00:46Aside from this, it is a violation of the proprietary right
00:50owned by the brand or trademark of these shampoos,
00:54soaps, and perfumes.
00:57We are taking care of public health.
01:01This can cause irritation.
01:03Prolonged use can cause skin disorder.
01:07More than P72 million worth of soap products were confiscated
01:12and destroyed.
01:13It faces complaints of unfair competition
01:16and Intellectual Property Code
01:17owned by the establishment.
01:19The NBI reminds us
01:21to be careful with what we buy.
01:24We should buy from regular stores
01:27because the distribution line of these products
01:31is for small retail establishments
01:38that are not registered,
01:40especially in the far-flung areas.
