DTI joins Consumer Welfare Month celebration this October

October is Consumer Welfare month (CWM). Based on Presidential Proclamation No. 1098, every October is an opportunity for government and private sectors, including media, to disseminate information such as policies affecting consumers, and encourage dialogue and cooperation among government, business and consumer groups to broaden their education as consumers.

Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Gregory L. Domingo points out that, “As the nation celebrates the 16th year of the Consumer Welfare Month, the department calls on the Filipino consumers once again to be properly informed and actively involved in programs created for them to ensure a safety- and price-conscious society.”
