Mamamayang Liberal Party-list Representative Leila de Lima has proposed a Magna Carta for informal ambulant vendors to address their challenges and protect their rights.The bill, House Bill No.10043, seeks to guarantee vendors' rights while promoting public welfare, consumer protection, and health standards.

De Lima highlighted that these vendors, often overlooked in the informal economy, face daily struggles such as lack of access to government support, high rent, and income instability.

The proposed Magna Carta includes measures like free registration, secure vending sites, social protection programs, and the establishment of a Local Inter-Agency Council to oversee vendor protection and relocation.

The bill draws from previous legislation and aims to formalize the rights of vendors who contribute significantly to the economy despite their vulnerable status.

De Lima emphasized the need for systemic support to ensure these workers can sustain themselves and their families without facing displacement or exploitation.
