With the digital economy expanding faster than consumers can catch up, the Department of Trade and Industry is faced with a myriad of questions—and complaints—on how to protect and enforce consumer rights. The answer, DTI offers, is simple: Practice! Get yourself informed using all digital means available. “Consumer Rights in the Digital Age” is the central theme for DTI’s Consumer Welfare Month this October, and the agency has lined up activities strategically aimed at getting consumers to be more familiar and vigilant about their rights as buyers. The highlight will be the forum on Consumer Rights in the Digital Age on October 20, when DTI is also expected to sign a Memorandum of Agreement with Digital Commerce Association of the Philippines. The agency will also be launching its digital-based Frontline Queuing System for its Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau on October 25. DTI Undersecretary Teodoro Pascua points out, “This celebration is the best opportunity for the Department to widen its reach to consumers and to accentuate the programs that will assist them in exercising their rights and be more participative on issues that will benefit them.” But as a consumer, there are also several initiatives you can do, not just to take part in the activities, but to practice and strengthen your own knowledge of consumer rights: Check out the e-Presyo website The E-presyo website is DTI’s online price monitoring system.

Can’t wait to get your dose of #VitaminSea? While we have a lot of beautiful beaches in the Philippines, El Nido is definitely among the best. Last year, it ranked #4 in Conde Nast Traveler’s list of “20 Best Beaches in the World” while CNN Travel gave it the #1 spot. El Nido is home to around 50 white sand beaches – it’s impossible to choose just one – all of which are set around dramatic limestone formations and boast the finest and whitest sand you’ll ever see. The water is so blindingly blue it makes the Caribbean Sea look murky in comparison. And the sunsets? Well, they’ll ruin you for life. – Conde Nast Traveler Living in an archipelago, we often don’t realize how privileged we are that pristine, crystal clear waters and exciting underwater adventures are so accessible to us. Out of 7,107 islands (7,641 according to the latest count of the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority), El Nido is not the only one with white sand, inviting waters and a magnificent view. What makes it so special? These are the 3 things that set El Nido apart from other beaches in the country. It’s not a tourist trap. Unless you book in some swanky resort, staying in El Nido is surprisingly affordable. You can find a place for less than Php 3,000 a night, have a seafood feast for two for less than P700, and book a whole day tour with lunch for Php 1,200. Read More …
The Philippine robotics team from Taguig brought home the gold and silver from two events at the 2017 FIRA RoboWorld Cup in Taiwan. Creating robot versions of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, the Taguig team won the Gold Trophy for Youth U19 Cliff Hanger event, and the Silver in the Youth U19 Mission Impossible event after they successfully made a robot that knocked out another, and another one float in water. The 6-member winning Taguig robotics team from the Senator Renato Companero Cayetano Memorial Science and Technology High School (SRCCMSTHS) and Kapt. Eddie T.

Until recently, 29 year-old Merry Rose De Vera was homeless, living on the street, and making ends meet by going through people’s trash. De Vera, who eloped with her boyfriend when she was only 19, lived in along the South Pier in Manila, where she became a mother of three children. Because of their horrible living conditions, her kids grew up sickly and weak, and were constantly in and out of government hospitals because of pneumonia. “Ang buhay po sa kalsada sobrang hirap. Naranasan ko na kumain ng galing sa basurahan… Hindi kami halos makaligo ng isang linggo. Ang hirap po talaga tapos kapag umuulan, hindi mo alam kung saan ka tatakbo para makasilong kasi mababasa ka talaga. “’Yung mga anak ko nga halos laman ng ospital ‘yun e… laging polmunya ang sakit,” she told ABS-CBN News. After suffering through domestic abuse from the father of her children, Merry Rose decided to find away to achieve gainful employment that would provide her children a better life. The answer to her prayers came from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), who suggested that she should attend the free livelihood training offered by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in Sampaloc Manila. “Inalok po ako ng DSWD kasi po 4Ps [Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program] member po ako… Tinanong po nila ako kung gusto ko daw po mag-aral ng TESDA [Technical Education and Skills Development Authority] para magkaroon ng trabaho. Sabi ko ‘susubukan ko po,” she says. Merry Rose Read More …

Armando Bartolome You may be familiar with the popular book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” written by Robert Kiyosaki. I often cite this book as an example of how people have differing views about life. Parents always remind their kids about the value of education. For sure, when we don’t take education seriously, we lose much from life. But success in any business is a combination of many factors. One of the keys to success is learning more and more about your business. Not everything is learned in school and learning does not stop when you step out of the classroom. The wealth of experience of certain individuals is a good source of wisdom for entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs alike. What is a mentor? A mentor is a professional who shares knowledge and advice and helps a business grow. The relationship benefits entrepreneurs, employees and the mentor in many ways. My years of being in the business has allowed me to help many who, I am proud to say, have established well-known brands in the Philippines. This is the reason why I love what I do. A mentor acts as a guide and provides valuable information that can help an entrepreneur manage his business better. Here are some of the things a mentor does: Educates the mentee on how to accept feedback in important areas, such as communications, technical abilities, change management, and leadership skills Helps the mentee better understand the organization’s culture and unspoken rules, both of which can be Read More …
