Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Region 10 reaffirms its commitment to empowering consumers on their rights and responsibilities as it achieves 98% rating on consumer awareness in Northern Mindanao. Based on the latest Pulse Asia Survey (Ulat ng Bayan), Region 10’s 98% consumer awareness rating is the highest among all regions.
The survey reflects the efforts of the Department in conducting several consumer advocacy initiatives on consumer rights and responsibilities.
DTI-10 conducted 117 activities and produced 36 information-education campaign (EIC) materials on April-June 2025.
The consumer activities include learning sessions to schools to discuss on consumer rights and responsibilities.
Other sessions are also conducted for senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) to raise awareness on the special 5% discount on basic necessities ad prime commodities.
Aside from educating consumers, the office additionally conducts briefings on Fair Trade Laws to business establishments to ensure that customers are protected from deceptive practices.
Furthermore, it has leveraged the use of social media in expanding its reach to a broader audience online.
