Right to basic needs is the right to have access on basic goods or necessities, and
services such as food, clothing, shelter, health care, utilities, water, and sanitation. For
example, as a consumer, we may look forward to the basic and prime commodities at
affordable prices and of good quality.
Right to safety is the right to have protection against marketing of hazardous goods and
services that can affect your health and life. For example, consumers who purchase
Christmas lights should first look for certification like PS marks to assure that the
product has certified quality and marked as safe.
Right to information is the right to be given facts to make informed decisions and be
protected against misleading advertising and labelling. For example, when buying
medicine such as Biogesic, make sure to look for information such as labels,
manufacturer, or expiration date to avoid getting harmed.
Right to choice is the right to select from a wide range of goods and services at
competitive prices with good quality assurance. For example, the consumer can choose
whatever shampoo suits him the most from the variety of selection at the grocery store.
Right to consumer education is the right to obtain knowledge and skills necessary to be
an informed customer. For example, condominium agents can give flyers to clients
stating the necessary details of the units such as rooms, capacity, and accessibility.
Right to a healthy environment is the right to live and work in an environment that is not
threatening and not dangerous. For example, cleaning the hospital premises regularly
will prevent illness from spreading, thus, promotes a healthy working environment.
