It’s like asbestosis, a dreadful disease that sticks needle-like asbestos into your lungs so you die of cancer early. Companies were taken to court and the claimants won despite that no one knew of or even suspected asbestosis existed in those earlier days (I know since I worked for an asbestos company for nine years).
Mind you—today anyone who produces or sells asbestos products should be prosecuted, because now we know. Yet, strangely, a law that would now ban asbestos products because of its deadly effect is just sitting there in Congress, not being acted upon. I can’t imagine how anyone would object to it, so why doesn’t it get passed more rapidly? Asbestos panel boards are being imported into the country putting Filipinos at risk—and Congress seems not to care.
Perhaps the Senate president and Speaker of the House could apply some urgency to this. –Manila standard Peter wallace
