BMC rejects arbitration award to pay Dune Foods P1.2m

Dune Foods and BMC will face each other in court next March after the latter rejected an arbitration award to pay the former, the sum of P1.2million and wants the decision reviewed and set aside.

The State-owned parastatal has been locked in a contractual battle with the company behind Setso products, which is known for selling packaged mogodu (tripe), since 2023. The dispute arose out of a breach of a Memorandum of Agreement for the manufacturing and canning of beef tripe signed between the two parties after BMC allegedly failed to honour its contractual obligation.
