ON CONSUMER EDUCATION, ADVOCACY & PROTECTION
DTI will seek greater private sector involvement in its goal of heightening consumer
vigilance (preference) for quality and safe products and services from responsible
suppliers. DTI will boost its efforts at increasing consumer awareness and advocacy to
develop more empowered consumers who will assert their rights. The Bagwis Program
which recognizes establishments that uphold the rights of consumers while practicing
responsible business where consumers get the best value for their money shall be
continued. DTI will engage business and professional organizations in strengthening
government’s consumer redress mechanisms. Finally, the DTI will adopt a synergized
approach in terms of monitoring and enforcement.
