VICTORIA, LAGUNA – Enforcing Presidential Decree No. 1572 (PD 1572), Series of 1978, the Department of Trade and Industry – Laguna Provincial Office (DTI-Laguna) inspected service and repair enterprises (SREs) on August 14 to 15, 2024. This is in line with the issuance of SRE Accreditation certificates in the following cities/municipalities in Laguna: Santa Rosa City, Biñan City, Calamba City, Cabuyao City, Los Baños, San Pablo City, and Nagcarlan.

Eleven (11) SREs underwent evaluations and on-site inspections. The compliance procedure included interviews with owners, managers, and/or technicians. In order to help them recall the method and parameters, they were given a brief summary of PD 1572 and its relevance.

The DTI intends to regulate SREs in order to protect the public’s interests against unfair and incompetent SRE practices, as well as to protect respected and capable SREs from unscrupulous behaviors that harm their reputations.

In compliance with the PD 1572, DTI-Laguna constantly reminds SREs that their shops and technical staff must be DTI authorized before they can commence operations. SREs in Laguna may apply at DTI-Laguna, which is located in Banca-Banca, Victoria, Laguna. Applicants may contact the Consumer Protection Division at r04a.laguna@dti.gov.ph or +639175004317.
