MANILA, Philippines — The local government of Quezon City on Thursday said that hundreds of notice of violations were handed down to market vendors in both public and private markets around the city for overpricing of products and having “fraudulent” weighing scales. ADVERTISEMENTSuch violations of vendors were overpricing, fraudulent weighing scales, as well as the absence of price tags. “We give vendors a chance to explain their pricing because prices now are affected due to supply issues. If proven as overpricing, they will need to pay the corresponding penalty when they renew business permit,” Lipana said. Fraudulent weighing scales are also confiscated by the MDAD and have them recalibrated.
