DTI has no jurisdiction over fake cigarettes
THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has no jurisdiction over the fake cigarettes that have reportedly entered Negros Occidental, including Bacolod City.
Reginald Hudierez of the Enforcement and Confiscation Division of DTI-Negros Occidental said in a telephone interview that circulation of fake or counterfeit products considered criminal offense falls under the jurisdiction of the National Bureau of Investigation.
Cigarettes are not basic necessity and prime commodity, which are covered by the DTI.
