2018 Year-end Report of the

Philippine Competition Commission

Arsenio M. Balisacan, PhD

Chairman

For nearly three years now since its establishment in 2016, the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) has sustained its momentum in carrying out its mandate under the Philippine Competition Act (PCA).

The enactment of the PCA has been a game-changing reform, helping the country to sustain its rapid economic growth and to achieve more inclusive development.

As the Commission’s inaugural Chairman, I am proud to say that we have indeed gone far since our inception. Allow me to report our accomplishments in 2018 and share our priorities in 2019.
