The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is set to release the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Internet Transactions Act this month, paving the way for the implementation of a law that will provide greater protection to consumers and businesses in the online space.
Trade Undersecretary Mary Jean T. Pacheco, the government agency’s e-commerce lead, gave this timeline to reporters Thursday.
“We just wanted to make sure that we considered all the comments (from) the public,” Pacheco said on the sidelines of the logistics forum in Makati organized by logistics and courier firm Ninja Van.
