The Clothing and Textile Industry Tripartite Council (CTITC) in the Philippines, an advisory and consultative body, recently urged the government to support companies that were repurposed to produce medical-grade personal protective equipment (PPE), stockpiling PPE and stop the import of substandard PPE to help recovery of jobs in the industry.

CTITC founding member Robert Young said the domestic garment and textile industry employs approximately 30,000 to 50,000 workers only due to pandemic displacement, according to a media report in the country.
