10 Talking Points (cited to law)

1. 01

   Repossession in PH requires either consent or a court writ.

   Source: Civil Code Art. 1484 (Recto Law); Rules of Court Rule 60 (Replevin).

   Walang court order, walang pirma mo, hindi pwedeng kunin ang sasakyan.

2. 02

   Remote engine disable without notice raises safety + due process issues.

   Source: 1987 Constitution Art. III §1 (due process).

   Pag pinatay ang motor mo habang nasa kalye, delikado at labag sa karapatan.

3. 03

   GPS data collected by lenders is personal data under DPA.

   Source: RA 10173 (Data Privacy Act) §3(g); NPC Circular 16-01.

   Lokasyon mo ay personal info. May karapatan kang malaman kung saan nila ipapadala.

4. 04

   Borrower has right to demand all GPS data the lender holds.

   Source: RA 10173 §16 — right to access.

   Pwede kang humingi ng kopya ng GPS records. May 30 days silang sumagot.

5. 05

   Hardware costs, battery drain, and repair fees should be disclosed.

   Source: RA 3765 §4(a); RA 7394 Art. 52.

   Pag may sira ang GPS box, hindi mo dapat shouldered ang repair kung di nakasulat.

6. 06

   Disabling a vehicle in transit can be reckless endangerment.

   Source: RPC Art. 365 — reckless imprudence.

   Pag delikado ang kill-switch sa kalye, criminal yan, hindi lang civil.

7. 07

   BSP-supervised lenders must follow consumer redress timelines.

   Source: BSP Circular 1048 §X707 — 15 banking-days response.

   15 days lang ang BSP-supervised lender para sumagot sa reklamo mo.

8. 08

   SEC-licensed financing companies are subject to MC 18 consumer protections.

   Source: SEC Memorandum Circular No. 18-2019.

   SEC may rules din. Pwede mo silang i-file under MC 18.

9. 09

   Forced GPS installation as condition of loan must be disclosed in contract.

   Source: RA 3765 §4 — material loan terms disclosure.

   Kung GPS ang kailangan, dapat nakasulat sa contract. Walang biglaang dagdag.

10. 10

    Group-buying GPS-free alternatives is a legitimate consumer response.

    Source: Consumer Act Art. 4 — right to choice and information.

    May right ka pumili. Tingnan sa labanph.org/rates/gps-devices ang ibang options.

Cite primary law/circular when on camera. Avoid naming specific individuals unless they are public officers / directors of record. Frame as 'company X violated rule Y'; never as 'X is a scammer'.
