The Dagupan City Anti-Littering Task Force confiscated more than 500 defective weighing scales from vendors at the Magsaysay Fish Market during inspections on the morning of August 8, 2025. The team discovered several vendors using tampered or broken scales and seized them on the spot. Authorities reported that they confiscate more than 20 faulty scales each day.
Both shoppers and vendors supported this initiative.
“Opo, dapat lang naman po na hindi madaya para fair naman po sa mga mamimili,” said Rochelle Mendoza, a frequent shopper.
“Para makakasigurado rin ‘yung mga bumibili, para ano, makasure sila na tama ‘yung timbangan,” added vendor Diana Poserio.
