yes, plus the free trade policies hurt local producers din all over. hindi na maka-compete sa sobrang babang presyo ng imported salt

this is due to Republic Act 8172 that requires salt makers to make and sell iodized salt only. non-iodized salt is actually illegal due to this law and local salt makers lack the money and facilities to produce iodized salt (also mentioned in documentaries featuring asin tibuok)
Random ebas tonight:
The fact that the Philippines imports salt annually (>90%), despite literally having one of the longest coastlines in the world, doesn't sit right with me.

amendment of ASIN law like in Senate Bill No. 1450. & as always, we have to give support to our local makers from production to post-production handling to marketing.
for us to address their specific needs, lawmakers should first have a dialogue with our local makers and sellers
