Matapos talakayin ni Pangulong Duterte sa kaniyang ikalimang SONA, e-Commerce sa bansa napapanahon nang maipasa.
Napapanahon ang pagtalakay ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa ikalimang SONA nito patungkol sa e-commerce ayon kay Valenzuela City Rep. Wes Gatchalian, chairman of House Committee on Trade and Industry.
“I am very delighted that the President emphasized the need to build confidence in online transactions, by providing stronger protection for online consumers and enabling measures for online businesses through the enactment of the Internet Transactions Act,” sabi ng House panel chairman.
“These concerns cannot come at a more appropriate time as this pandemic has forced millions to resort to ecommerce as the primary means to transact. Ecommerce will be the new normal but unfortunately, regulations to protect consumers and businesses from unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of this borderless economy are inadequate,” dagdag pa niya.
Aniya, sang-ayon si Gatchalian sa naging salaysay ni Pangulong Duterte na kailangan ng maipasa ang batas na tutugon sa pangangailangan ng mga mamimili o konsyumer at ang pagpapaunlad sa e-commerce ng bansa. (Rex B. Molines)
