/ Competition 101: CICALS-LGU

The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC), through its Legislative Liaison Office (LLO), in partnership with the Office of the City Mayor Hon. Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto as well as the Pasig City Investments Center and Negosyo Center, will be conducting its third 

Capacity Improvement on Competition Advocacy for Legislative Staff (CICALS)

 on 11 December 2020 at 1:00 PM for the benefit of policymakers, consumers, and businesses of Pasig City.

The CICALS  is a webinar series on the basics of competition law and policy, benefits and applications of the competition law on businesses, and the powers and functions of the PCC.

As a regular advocacy initiative of the PCC-LLO, CICALS is geared towards achieving the Commission’s strategic objective of reviewing potentially anti-competitive legislation and policies that may substantially prevent, restrict, or lessen competition in the market. This cycle with the City Government of Pasig is the first of the CICALS series specifically designed for the benefit of local government units (LGUs).

The CICALS LGU-Pasig aims to:

  • Promote the value of pro-competitive local legislation and policies in protecting Pasigueño consumers and stakeholders;
  • Introduce the benefits of competition to MSMEs and promote fair competition within the business sector;
  • Develop competition champions in the local government;
  • Craft and issue a competition code/ordinance of the local government.

PROGRAM
The webinar will start at 1:00 PM. For further inquiries, kindly e-mail  legis@phcc.gov.ph.
