In my December 12, 2020 column, I wrote on the ASEAN Peer review of Philippine consumer policy and law. Recently, the Philippines held the debriefing on the draft country assessment report for the ASEAN Peer Review on Consumer Protection in the Philippines. The Philippines is the first ASEAN country to undergo the peer review, with support by the ASEAN Regional Expert as well as peer reviewers from Malaysia and Vietnam. The comprehensive assessment was based on literature and legal review, self-assessment by Government, stakeholder survey and sectoral dialogues including the Laban Konsyumer Inc. This was guided by the ASEAN High-Level principles on consumer protection and in due consideration of regional and international good practices. The recommendations are closely linked to the government’s current reform agenda in consumer welfare and protection.
