The Civil Service Commission, in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Agriculture, launched the revised implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act Number 9242 or the Philippine Tropical Fabrics Law last 30 August 2023 in Quezon City.
The Philippine Tropical Fabrics contain natural textile fibers produced spun, woven, knitted, and finished in the Philippines. Despite these regulations, a report from 2021 highlights some challenges in implementing the law, especially concerning office uniforms. The difficulties include the limited availability of PTF, the non-availability of local spinning technology, and a shortage of suppliers meeting the required standards for PTF.
The newly amended PTF regulations were officially signed on July 14, 2023, by CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles. This is achieved through optical micro-imaging analysis and evaluation. Moreover, the laboratory conducts colorfastness tests to assess how well fabrics retain its color and resist staining after exposure to various factors like laundering, perspiration, and rubbing.
