The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) held a dialogue with the City Government of Pasig on January 9 to discuss possible collaborations in promoting competition law and policy.

PCC Chairperson Michael Aguinaldo emphasized that all national government agencies, government-owned or -controlled corporations, and local government units are mandated to integrate competition principles into their policies, rules, and guidelines, as per Administrative Order No. 44.

"We aim to achieve positive outcomes through this collaboration," Aguinaldo said. "This includes establishing clear communication channels within our organizations, ensuring effective enforcement against anti-competitive practices, and conducting more efficient reviews of policies that may hinder market competition."

Pasig City Mayor Victor Ma. Regis Sotto welcomed the dialogue, emphasizing that this collaboration is essential for ensuring sustainable and inclusive growth, given the PCC's crucial role in this area.

Sotto acknowledged the PCC's expertise and sought guidance on creating a more competitive and fair business environment for the city, benefiting both businesses and residents.

Representatives from the PCC Enforcement Office, Mergers and Acquisitions Office, and Economics Office also presented an overview of the Philippine Competition Act and the National Competition Policy to Pasig City officials, including the vice mayor, city councilors, and heads of various city departments. PCC Commissioners Lolibeth Ramit-Medrano and Ferdinand Negre, along with Executive Director Kenneth Tanate, also participated in the dialogue. 

In December 2020, the PCC conducted a Capacity Improvement on Competition Advocacy for Legislative Staff (CICALS) in Pasig City. The program aimed to empower local officials by promoting pro-competitive policies, educating MSMEs about the benefits of competition, and guiding the development of a local competition code.
