Court orders destruction of fake Honda engines

Philippines--RTC Judge Roberto Chiongson has ordered the destruction of 22 faker Hondo general purpose engines. Chiongson issued search warrants against three business owned by Jose Zulueta in Bacolod and Iloilo, establishments raided in 2005 by the National Bureau of Investigation. As the month of October is Intellectual Property Rights month in the Philippines, Honda officials made public speeches concerning the importance of IP to students at the De La Salle University.

Honda's legal counsel--including Brigido Valmadrid highlighted anti-counterfeiting policies in Asia and the Philippines at the lecture, emphasizing the dangers of buying and using inferior products.

Before the destruction of the counterfeit engines, Honda held a presentation on how to spot a fake engine from the genuine product. Honda noted that counterfeit auto parts can cause fatalities--just one of many reasons why we should all steer clear and purchase through reputable channels.
