The only constant thing is life is change. Having known that for the longest time, I wonder why our consumer rights is still in dormant stage.
The CONSUMER ACT OF THE PHILIPPINES, enacted into law in 1992 is becoming more and more obsolete.
Too much politicking among our legislators are taking its toll on important laws like this. No one is an advocate of consumer rights...openly advocating consumer rights vs abusive businesses and companies.
Consumers are becoming ignorant of their rights because every time they complain about a purchase nothing is being done. It's a long waiting game.
Online amendments should be included in our Consumer Rights. Online purchases are often used as platform in selling counterfeit items. This is probably the downside of our highly advanced technological world...our laws can't seem to keep up.
The Department of Trade and Industry created a so-called helpdesk for consumers who are brave enough to complain and get their money back. Visit their website at http://www.dtincr.ph/service_consumerassist_cwd.php.
