OCTOBER IS CONSUMER WELFARE MONTH
Proclamation No. 1098 series of 1997 declared October of every year as Consumer Welfare Month (CWM). The month-long celebration aims to promote the dissemination of sound consumer information on subjects that affect consumers and encourage dialogue and cooperation among consumers, businesses, and government sectors in strengthening consumer rights awareness and protection.
For 2025, the theme "BIDA ANG KONSYUMER SA BAGONG PILIPINAS" highlights the vital role of every Filipino consumer in shaping a progressive economy and fair marketplace. It aligns with the governmentโs commitment to empower and protect consumers by promoting informed choices, accountability, and shared prosperity.
In support of the celebration, DTI-Caviteโs Consumer Protection Division (CPD) will lead series of engaging and informative activities for the whole month of October.
