DTI AWARDS GOLD BAGWIS SEAL TO TOYOTA TAGUM

In recognition of the institution as a responsible business establishment, DTI Davao del Norte Officer in Charge Romeo L. Castañaga presented Toyota Tagum with a Gold Bagwis Seal for Excellence Award in a ceremony last February 13, 2015. DTI Davao del Norte OIC Romeo L. Castañaga hands Gold Bagwis plaque to Ms. Mary Ann Saman, Service Manager of Toyota Tagum. Mr. Castañaga said Gold Bagwis Award is given to Toyota Tagum for excellence shown in compliance to fair trade laws, corporate social responsibility undertaking, and alignment to ISO 9001 standards.    DTI’s Bagwis Seal for Excellence Awards are given to business establishments that promote consumer welfare and uphold fair trade practices. This will give assurance and guidance to consumers on purchasing quality products and services thus getting the best out of their hard earned money. Formerly known as DTI – Certified Establishment, the award has three categories: gold, silver and bronze.  Various parameters are used to evaluate the establishment’s qualification for each specific category. For bronze, compliance with fair trade laws such as consumer act, consumer welfare desk, price act and price tag law are measured. Silver seal recipients are in additional required corporate social responsibilities such as sound purchasing policy and participation to government programs among others. Apart from the above-mentioned criteria, Gold Bagwis awardees must meet the additional requirement of compliance to ISO 9001/Quality Management System. This award is designed to promote and foster the highest level of business ethics and uphold a fair and honest marketplace through voluntary self-regulation and service excellence. The Bagwis seal also symbolizes commitment to nurture, guide, and protect both the consumers and the establishments from unfair trade practices. DTI continues to encourage business establishments to be accredited with Bagwis seal of excellence. DTI Davao del Norte has already awarded a total of 31 Bagwis Seal to various business firms in the province since 2007. This consists of 4 bronze, 21 silver awards and the rest are gold. OIC Romeo L.
