The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Wednesday handed out Bagwis Awards or seal of excellence to 17 establishments in Negros Oriental in recognition of their efforts to comply with government regulations and uphold the rights of consumers.

All 17 awardees are 7-Eleven convenience stores but with different franchise holders across the province.

DTI Assistant Secretary for Consumer Protection Group, lawyer Anne Claire Credo-Cabochan led the awarding of the Bagwis Awards following the “Kapihan sa PIA” forum at a local hotel here in line with the celebration of Consumer Welfare Month this October.

The Bagwis Program has three levels of award: bronze, silver, and gold.

All of the 17 establishments were given the Gold Bagwis Award for having met all four requirements, said Hermel Sun, Consumer Welfare Desk Officer of DTI-Negros Oriental.

For the bronze category, the criteria are compliance with fair trade laws plus putting up a Consumer Welfare Desk or a customer service desk inside the establishment.

The silver category includes achievement of the bronze category requirements plus another requirement — having a Corporate Social Responsibility program.

For the gold category, an establishment must have achieved the bronze and silver requirements and must be compliant with ISO 9001 or having met requirements of the Quality Management System.

The theme for this year’s Consumer Welfare Month is “Sustainable Consumption: Understanding the Impact of Consumers Choices in a Shared Environment”. (Judy F. Partlow/PNA)
