In celebration of Consumer Welfare Month, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) โ Quirino Provincial Office successfully held its 2nd Consumer Warrior Gauntlet: The Quiz Bee on 3 October 2026, at the NEAP-D Building of the Department of Education โ Schools Division Office in Gundaway, Cabarroguis, Quirino.

Director Mayangat further challenged the delegations to wear their knowledge as armor in an increasingly complex digital marketplace, to embrace the pressure of the gauntlet with grace and teamwork, and to return to their schoolsโfrom Diffun to Nagtipunanโas true ambassadors of fairness and consumer advocacy.
Following a tense preliminary tabulation that required a tight tie-breaker round among leading schools, the contestants faced a rigorous gauntlet of easy, average, difficult, and clincher questions. The said quiz bee tested participants on their extensive knowledge of fair-trade and consumer laws, including the Consumer Act of the Philippines (RA 7394), the Price Act (RA 7581), the Price Tag Law (RA 71), the To***co Regulation Act (RA 9211), the Expanded Senior Citizens Act (RA 9994), the Lemon Law (RA 10642), the No Shortchanging Act (RA 10909), the Gift Check Act (RA 10962), the Internet Transaction Act (RA 11967), and the Vaporized Ni****ne and Non-nicotine Products Regulation Act (RA 11900), alongside DTI policies, consumer rights history, Suggested Retail Prices (SRP), deceptive sales acts, and product warranties.
