An Act Granting Enhanced Protection to Consumers, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 7394, Otherwise Known as the Consumer Act of the Philippines
The bill creates a new Consumer Act that adds stronger rights for shoppers—like safety, clear information, and the ability to choose basic goods—while also asking consumers to be more aware and act responsibly. It bans pyramid and similar scams, requires product labels to show origin and dates, and lets people get bills electronically at no extra cost. The Department of Trade and Industry must write detailed rules within 90 days, and the law takes effect 15 days after it is published.
