This follows reports that face shields were being sold at the NAIA at prices as high as P200 each.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) earlier this month released a Memorandum Circular which mandated the use of face shields, aside from wearing face masks, in any mode of public transportation service effective August 15, 2020.
For its part, the Department of Health (DOH) set the suggested retail price (SRP) for basic non-medical face shields at P26 to P50 per piece. — DVM, GMA News
