But 2 big franchise organizations in the Philippines, namely Philippine Franchise Association (PFA) and the Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc (AFFI) have opposed such regulation in the industry which has baffled me but not surprising since they have vested interest in this.
The current franchise industry is pretty much self-regulated, which in my opinion has not worked out too well. It’s close to being the wild wild west. Many franchise companies, some are even MLM companies cleverly disguised as offering legitimate franchises are popping up at an alarming frequency often offering substandard franchises that’s ruining the industry as a whole.

I think it's definitely a good idea to have some regulation of the franchise industry. Self regulation is a pretty good system but there are always those individuals that are able to find ways to scam and exploit helpless individuals. For assistance contact Triple i Consulting Inc.ro
In the first place, DTI should be doing that, because that is their job - to regulate trade in the Philippines. I think it's a good idea to require operating years for franchising companies to start offering franchise. DTI and the franchise organizations should agree on the number of years required.
