English: Gatchalian meanwhile pressed for the passage of Senate Bill No. 818 or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Under the proposed measure, a debt collector shall not engage in any conduct that will harass, oppress, or abuse any debtor in connection with the collection of a debt. The use or threat of violence; disclosure, publication, or posting of names and other personal information of the borrowers; and the use of obscene or profane language; among others are prohibited under Gatchalian's proposed measure.
Filipino: Iginiit naman ni Gatchalian ang kahalagahang maipasa ang Senate Bill No. 818 o ang Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Sa ilalim ng panukalang batas, ang maniningil ng utang ay hindi maaaring mang-harass o mang-abuso ng sino mang may utang pagdating sa paniningil. Ang paggamit ng karahasan o anumang uri ng pagbabanta, pagsasapubliko ng pangalan at iba pang impormasyon, at paggamit ng mga mapanirang-puring salita ay ilan lamang sa mga bagay na ipinagbabawal sa panukalang batas ni Gatchalian.
