Ask Moneymax: What are My Rights Under Consumer Act of the Philippines?
- By Adji Hendrawan
- January 13, 2022
As the Omicron variant of COVID-19 surges and the quarantine restrictions have become stricter again, more and more Filipinos resort to electronic transactions. Online purchases in the Philippines have rapidly increased since the pandemic. However, this has also resulted in a myriad of woes from consumers regarding defective items, poor quality, or issues about sellers who mislead customers just to increase sales. In a country where malls are a place to shop, dine, unwind, and pray (most malls have chapels and masses on Sundays), it was a leap to embrace online shopping. Some government agencies even had to establish their satellite branches in malls to make their services more accessible to the public. Before the pandemic, one could hardly imagine Metro Manila without its sprawling shopping centers flocked by crowds. Now that many transactions are done online, consumer complaints also run aplenty. Frequent concerns include, Can defective items be returned? Are warranties applicable? What are the rights of consumers? Is the “No Return, No Exchange” policy legal? We will address these consumer rights-related questions in this article. Know Your Rights: Understanding the Consumer Act of the Philippines 1. Are there laws in the Philippines that protect consumers? Yes. There is a wide range of laws and regulations in the Philippines that protect consumers. The 1987 Constitution provides that consumers must be protected from trade malpractices and substandard or hazardous products. Thus, in 1992, Republic Act (R.A.) No. 7394 or the Consumer Act of the Philippines[1] was passed. According to the ASEAN Peer Review on Consumer Protection, the Philippines possesses one…

What You Need to Know About Using an E-Bike and E-Scooter in the City
- By Adji Hendrawan
- January 3, 2022
More and more people are turning to electric motorcycles and scooters these days, and you’ve probably seen them on streets everywhere. It comes as no surprise, given the traffic and parking problems that motorists in the Philippines have to contend with every day. E-bikes and e-scooters are great alternative modes of transportation to get around the city. Compared to conventional gas-powered motorcycles, these light electric vehicles are more economical, environment-friendly, and convenient. Should you ditch your car in favor of an electric bike or scooter? Think things through first. We’ve put together a handy guide that will help you come up with a wise decision. E-Bike and E-Scooter: What’s the Difference? E-bikes and e-scooters are the same in the sense that they’re both running on batteries and that used for personal mobility. Structurally speaking, however, there are obvious differences between the two. An e-bike takes on the look of a traditional bicycle, or even a motorcycle, and may or may not come with a pedal. It also comes with a seat, which makes for a comfortable ride. Some varieties of e-bikes have three wheels and may look like a taxicle. E-bikes of this type allow you to carry passengers and loads, such as groceries. An e-scooter, on the other hand, looks very much like its non-motorized counterpart. What makes it different, though, is that it’s much larger. It has bigger wheels and a more spacious deck, which conveniently accommodates the rider. Riding it just requires you to stand on the deck as you let the electric motor move the wheels….

Here are some 2021 happenings that tested not just our faith but also our unity. PNoy’s Sudden Passing In June, former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III passed away at the age of 61. Apparently, he was suffering from different health conditions since 2019. Other than undergoing a heart procedure, he also underwent dialysis for at least five months. PNoy was known for his “Daang Matuwid” battle cry. During his term, poverty incidence went down from 26.3% to 21.6%.

Last year, the whole world experienced a different kind of New Year’s Eve. Lockdowns and social restrictions forced families and businesses to take their celebrations and countdowns online. Truth be told, it wasn’t as exciting as the pre-pandemic New Year’s festivities, but people couldn’t afford to be careless. At the latter part of this year, however, things started looking up.

Should You Buy or Rent a House? Know the Pros and Cons Before You Decide
- By Moneymax
- November 12, 2021
Having a place to call your own is everyone’s dream. Pandemic or not, all we want is to provide a safe and comfortable place for ourselves and our loved ones. This desire comes with the decision to buy or rent a house. Renting is probably the easier choice. However, when you rent, you can’t stay in your house forever because you don’t own it. On the other hand, buying a house guarantees you’ll have a house to live in for the long-term. But the initial considerations are quite taxing and dependent on your financial capacity. In this article, you’ll learn more about the factors to consider when choosing to buy or rent a house. What’s the Difference Between Renting and Owning a House? To move out of your parents’ home and get your own place is quite a goal. It’s a huge decision that could affect your finances and your life as a whole. Renting can be an option because it allows you to occupy a living space just by paying monthly rent to the owner. Just remember that regardless of how long you’ve rented the house, it doesn’t make you the owner of the house. Buying a house is a different story. You automatically become the owner of the house after payments have been made and the paperwork is done. Whether you buy it in installment or in cash, you have authority over the property, which means you can sell it or have it rented out.
