Top 5 Thesis Topics on the Philippine E-Commerce Trustmark

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

Imagine buying from an online seller who seemed legit. The page had thousands of followers, glowing reviews, and flashy deals. You clicked “checkout,” sent your hard-earned money, and waited. Days passed. No reply. No package. The seller vanished, leaving you helpless and furious. This is the daily reality for thousands of Filipinos who fall victim to online scams, fake sellers, and untraceable merchants.

The government thinks a digital badge will fix this. The E-Commerce Philippine Trustmark promises safety and accountability. But here’s the real problem: trust online is broken. People don’t believe what they see. Sellers fake legitimacy. Platforms look the other way. And even if you report a scam, resolution takes forever—or never happens at all. This gap between digital trust and real consumer protection is where everything is failing. It’s time to ask: will this Trustmark truly solve the problem, or is it just another empty label?
