Bilateral Seminar with Philippines Competition Commission

 

On the 3rd and 4th of April 2017, the OECD/KPC Competition Programme held a workshop in Manila, the Philippines dedicated to providing capacity building to the recently created Philippines Competition Commission. Considering that the transitory period of two years following the adoption of the New Competition Act in 2015 will come to an end in August this year, the Philippines Competition Commission (PCC) is currently undertaking the drafting of guidelines on Fining as well as designing its leniency programme. In that context, the OECD/KPC provided a workshop that was dedicated to these two topics with the view of providing valuable inputs into their drafting process.   

 

This workshop had approximately 40 participants of competition officials from the Philippines, including Chairman Arsenio M. Balisacan, Commissioner Stella Alabastro Quimbo, and all those involved in the PCC in the development and drafting of the guidelines. Before the event the PCC had sent drafts of their work to date as well as a number of questions to be discussed, which allowed the presentations of the speakers to be more targeted to the specific issues, questions and concerns of the PCC.

 

This was a novel workshop that worked very well indeed, the discussions were detailed and lively, with the PCC staff fully engaged. The work before the event was crucial to its usefulness as it allowed the speakers to have an understanding of the ongoing work of the PCC and then to provide comments throughout the workshop.
