Co- anchor Barcelo started the serious talk with Ms. Janette Toral, on what was with in her article about Philippine E-Commerce.


Ms. Jannette Toral answered briefly, last year, senator Bam Aquino was the Chairman of trade on senate and congressional overside chairman on e-commerce law where he organize hearings that time to acquire updates on e-commerce and to know the concerncs of the people. It was participated by DTI among others and then during that hearing, they realized that they need a roadmap for e-commerce. Ms. Jannette implies talks about implementations on goverments, then it continued on december and have e-commerce roadmap discussion session. It was a whole day session that was hosted by DTI and it's purpose is to build an e-commerce roadmap because DTI currently making roadmaps for different sectors, and this is one that catched their attention. In the morning the event have a lot of presentations, and Ms. Toral shared her metrics based on surveys on imetrics, and then on the afternoon it held discussion sessions. their discussion was on data privacy law that pushes to build data privacy commission, because it happened that DOST has a project that host government websites and encourages government offices to make data sharing. The group has been concerned to talked about it because DOST shares data without following data privacy rules and it surpasses the Philippine data privacy law. Ms. Toral said that our law states that even if we dont have data privacy commission or commissioner, when it occured a grave abuse on handling data, the government may be liable at may have offences.

She added that even if the information was a hoax or not, it should still remain private and whatever government agency was committed on releasing a data will also have a liability under the law.

Ms. Toral thoought that maybe why DOST changed it's mindset because they want to have again DICT for the reason that the original structure of data privacy law , the data privacy commission will be under the ICP, since the President has the power to align functions, he can make it under the DTI or office of the president.

She said the world’s pace of trends, demands, and standards change too fast to cope up. We are exposed to too many opinions and too many ‘realities’ that we lose our identity to what we think matters most. There is a need of spiritual revival and positivity, most especially in the workplace wherein most young professionals live very busy and stressful lives.
