The Counterfeit Pharmaceutical Products Prevention Act would make making, importing, selling or even possessing fake medicines a crime, and if the fake drugs are worth ₱1 million or more the offense is treated as economic sabotage with very steep penalties. It also repeals the old 1996 law on counterfeit drugs and gives the FDA new powers to inspect, seize, and shut down offenders.
