On 29 May 2023, PAGASA was very privileged to have
been requested to physically attend the final meeting by the TWG of the
Lower House on the amendments to the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
Only two other entities were invited face-to-face as resource people to
this Meeting: DTI led by Usec. Ruth Castelo representing the enforcer
and the Philippine Chamber of Food Manufacturers, Inc. (PCFMI) led by
Atty. Olive Misa of Monde Nissin for the side of the suppliers. All
other 302 attendees participated online for this hybrid meeting.
Joining
online were FDA's Emilio Polig, PRA Chairman Atty. Paul Angelo Santos,
reps. from DA, DOJ, BSP & other public agencies, the Advertising
Standards Council, major manufacturers and representatives for the
consumer groups: Jose Sosa of the Bulacan Consumer Affairs Council
(BCAC), Jose Pepito of the National Association of Consumers, Inc.
(NACI) & Lakas Konsyumer's George Bandola. Topics
for this final meet dealt with basic minimum for product packaging
& labelling, format of expiration dates, competitive pricing, proper
price tagging, fair & truthful advertising/promotions, etc. PAGASA
brought up the need for proper translation using stickers by suppliers
for local/imported products that carry text using foreign characters or
local dialects only given the proliferation of Chinese/Korean retail
stores, the need for a standard legend in the order by which digits are
written as expiration dates on products given the many ways producers
view expiry of their products, how fresh produce may be properly
labelled and the clarity of description of items being merchandised
among others. Due to time constraint, topic on revival of the National
Consumer Affairs Council (NCAC) was left for stakeholders to present via
respective position papers. Meeting
was well organized and led by TWG Chairman Valentino Palanca/Comm. Sec.
of the House Committee on Trade & Industry, Eric Mendoza/Chief of
Staff under Comm. Chairman Rep. Marvie MariƱo, Arlene Solomon and other
staff of the same House Committee. |
