DTI suspends extra Credit Card Charges

DTI Administrative Order No. 10
re: Credit Card Purchases

The Philippine Star , Oct 31, 2006
Business Section , page B-4 SpyBIZ by S.A . Maguire


Consumers who have taken to whipping out credit cards to pay for items could take a breather with the recent issuance of Administrative Order No. 10 by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) . The draft administrative order prohibits the imposition of additional surcharges on products and services purchased through the use of a credit card.

Shops normally display two prices - one for cash payment and another for credit card - for products and services. Retailers normally impose a surcharge of five to 10 percent or more on products or services that will be paid for via credit card, instead of cash.

Under AO 10, shop owners will be required to display only one tag to indicate the price, which is in keeping with Articles 81 to 83 of the Consumer Act . The move has been lauded by Catanduanes Rep. Joseph Santiago who has been battling for the removal of unfair credit card and bank surcharges through House bill 4630 for almost two years. According to the Credit Card Association of the Philippines (CCAP), there are now almost five million card-carrying Filipinos.

The Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) and the CCAP have been blaming each other for the imposition of the extra charges. According to the PRA, card issuers exact two to three percent of the purchase price as processing fees. Hence, retailers have no choice but to pass on the extra charg to the card holders. CCAP, on the other hand, said it has nothing to do with the extra fees and passed on the blame to the retailers.

Starting Nov. 5, anyone caught violating the DTI order will face up to six months imprisonment or a fine of up to P5,000. A second violation would result in the revocation of the shop's business permit and license.

We encourage the buying public to report violators, this is for the
benefit of everyone.

Imelda Marcos to launch gems collection

Imelda Marcos to launch gems collection

TERESA CEROJANO

Associated Press

Imelda Marcos to launch gems collectionImelda Marcos - notorious for
her extensive shoe collection and eye-popping jewels accrued under her
husband's dictatorship - is launching a jewelry collection using castoffs
from her wardrobe and, she claims, flea market finds.
The full article will be available on the Web for a limited time:

http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/15942236.htm

MANILA, Philippines - Imelda Marcos - notorious for her extensive
shoe collection and eye-popping jewels accrued under her husband's
dictatorship - is launching a jewelry collection using castoffs from her
wardrobe and, she claims, flea market finds.


Marcos, known for her shopping trips to ritzy shops in New York while the
country wallowed in poverty, says she made the pieces from her old
accessories and clothes, mixed with newly bought stones and other
materials.


Her daughter, Rep. Imee Marcos, said that unknown to many people, her
mother shops for trinkets and accessories at flea markets, and keeps
earrings with a missing pair or brooches that have some missing
stones.


Using a glue gun, scissors or pliers, her mother "can combine them
with her vintage items in a way that comes out beautiful," Imee
Marcos told journalists Monday during a promotional photo shoot for
"The Imelda Collection," which is to be launched Nov. 18 in
Manila.


The 77-year-old widow of Ferdinand Marcos reclined on a divan in the
seaside garden of a Manila hotel to pose for photos Monday, modeling
several chunky necklaces, rings and bracelet sets for a brochure of the
collection.


Pointing to a set of matching earrings and brooch made of blue imitation
tiger eye stone she was wearing, she told reporters, "This thing I
wear now is something I recycled."


She said the jewelry collection was the idea of her grandson, Martin
"Borgy" Manotoc, who told her, "You are creating beautiful
things, like jewels from practically garbage."


The first designs are only for jewelry and will "not yet"
include shoes, her daughter said. But an aide said there are plans to
expand the collection to include shoes, clothes and possibly
furniture.


Describing how the collection came to be, the former first lady recalled,
"One day my grandson came to me and said, `Mama Meldy, I would like
to use your collection to tell the world the real Imelda and the spirit
of my grandma.'"


"What we are selling is not something valuable, but ... it is
something invaluable because it's only beauty that can feed the
spirit," she said.


Marcos said the items would be inexpensive, costing from $20 to $100. But
her daughter said prices and details about the collection are still being
ironed out.


"The accessories are just an excuse. It's just a visual and tactile
reminder of this attitude she wishes to share, the Imelda spirit, the
Imelda way and that's what it will represent," Imee Marcos
said.


The jewelry collection is a far cry from the dozens of suitcases of
genuine diamond tiaras, ruby brooches, emerald necklaces and other jewels
the government confiscated from Marcos and which officials plan to
auction off.


The Marcoses have been accused of amassing ill-gotten wealth and were
driven out of the presidential palace by a military-backed nonviolent
"people power" uprising in 1986. The ousted strongman died in
exile in Hawaii three years later.


The government has recovered about $1.6 billion in cash and assets from
the Marcoses and their associates, including Swiss bank deposits now
worth about $680 million.


Ricardo Abcede, a member of a commission recovering the Marcoses' wealth,
said about $4.4 billion worth of assets are tied up in criminal and civil
cases in the Philippines. The total amount of the Marcoses' assets abroad
is unknown.

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash
his Sweat-shirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he
shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?

"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your
shirt?"


He yelled back, " University of Oklahoma "


And they say blondes are dumb...


******************************************

A couple is lying in bed. The man says, "I am going to make you the
happiest woman in the world."


The woman replies, "I'll miss you..."


-----------------------------------------------------------

"It's just too hot to wear clothes today," Jack says as he
stepped out of the shower, "honey, what do you think the neighbors
would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"


"Probably that I married you for your money," she replied.



-----------------------------------

Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?


A: A rumor


-----------------------------------------------------------

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th
wedding anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and
said that because they had been so good that each one of them could have
one wish.


The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband. Whoosh!
Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.


The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger...
Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!!


Gotta love that fairy!


-----------------------------------

Dear Lord,


I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience
for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to
death.


AMEN
