00:00 Now that Christmas is coming,
00:02 many monoblocks are being sold in different stores and games.
00:06 But more than 1,000 of them
00:09 are not going to be included in any party.
00:11 Let's find out why in the story of Bernadette Reyes.
00:14 To get the cleaning done,
00:19 this worker went to the monoblock chair.
00:22 But when she got off,
00:23 the chair fell.
00:26 She fell and her head was hit.
00:30 The Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau of the Department of Trade and Industry
00:33 is confiscating monoblock chairs
00:36 that are not passed the safety standards.
00:38 Earlier, more than 1,000 chairs were broken.
00:42 We are confiscating defective chairs and stools.
00:47 The legs are broken.
00:49 And there are plastic pieces
00:56 that need to be removed from the chair
01:00 because it's dangerous for the chairs.
01:02 In just a few seconds,
01:04 the substandard chairs were broken.
01:07 To make sure that the monoblock chair and stool
01:10 that will be bought are passed the safety standards,
01:12 the ICC sticker or product standards mark
01:16 should be found on the product.
01:18 Aside from this,
01:19 the products should also have the right label,
01:21 just like the manufacturer's name.
01:24 If it's not certified,
01:26 presumably, they are not safe
01:28 for the life, health, and safety of our consumers.
01:32 And then, like what I said,
01:34 there are no labels that indicate where they were made.
01:37 From the broken and plastic pieces,
01:41 the products that are used to make the products
01:44 like trash cans, plastic pots, and coasters
01:47 that communities and schools can use.
01:51 In Manila, for example,
01:52 a city-operated materials recovery facility
01:56 that can recycle or upcycle plastic
01:59 to make a pot or keychain, for example.
02:02 It can also be used as construction material.
02:05 We'll crush them and we'll recycle them
02:08 into eco-bolts, into panels,
02:12 which are square.
02:14 And with that, we can manufacture furniture
02:18 or benches or tables, cabinets.
02:23 For GMA Integrated News,
02:25 Bernadette Reyes,
02:26 for Tutok 24 Horas.
