SOLON CALLS ON DTI, BUSINESS TO BE READY FOR GIFT CHECK NON-EXPIRY ACT THIS CHRISTMAS

The proposed Gift Check Non-Expiry Act, of which I am one of the principal authors, would most likely become law before Christmas.

Both the House and the Senate recently agreed on the bicameral conference committee report. The bill will soon be transmitted to the Office of the President for signature of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

To speed up the implementation of the Gift Check Non-Expiry Act, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) needs only to update its Department Administrative Order No. 10-04, series of 2010.

DTI should be updating DAO No. 10-04, series of 2010, and all related issuances by now.

In the updating process, I strongly suggest to the DTI that they find ways to allow the general public to immediately reap the benefits of the new law, so that gift checks that are already in circulation and soon to be released will be covered.

Issuers of gift checks should, by now, accept the fact that this measure will certainly become law and should already have protocols for the redemption or availment of the gift checks during the coming December holidays. They have no excuse on this because they have long been aware of this bill and its progress. (END)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
