TARLAC CITY GOV’T CONTINUES WEIGHING SCALE INSPECTIONS, 7 DEFECTIVE UNITS SEIZED
The City Government of Tarlac continues its intensified monitoring of public markets to ensure that weighing scales used by vendors are accurate, properly functioning, and compliant with existing market regulations.
A total of seven (7) defective weighing scales were confiscated during a surprise inspection conducted this afternoon by the City Economic Enterprise Management Office (CEEMO) at the RUA Temporary Market.

The operation forms part of the continuing efforts of the City Government of Tarlac under the administration of Mayor Susan Yap to promote fair and orderly market practices and protect consumers from inaccurate weighing.
The City Government reiterates its commitment to the strict enforcement of market regulations and the conduct of regular inspections to ensure that consumers receive the correct quantity of goods they pay for while vendors comply with established rules and standards.
