PCC launches online case reporting system

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) has launched an online system to enable citizens to directly report anti-competitive practices.

In a statement, the antitrust agency said the online case reporting system was developed with support from the Korea International Cooperation Agency.

The public can access the online case reporting system at https://ccms.phcc.gov.ph

Through the online system, the aim is to streamline the reporting process by allowing users to upload documents and submit cases online.

Previously, reporting anti-competitive practices required multiple steps and staff interventions.

“This system empowers the public to take part in safeguarding competition. By making reporting faster, simpler and more secure, we are strengthening our collective effort to ensure fair markets for all,” PCC chairperson Michael Aguinaldo said.

The initiative reflects the PCC’s commitment to promote transparency, efficiency and consumer welfare.

The PCC is mandated to enforce the Philippine Competition Act (PCA), the country’s primary competition policy.

Under the PCA, the aim is to protect consumer well-being and preserve the efficiency of competition in the marketplace.

The PCA prohibits anti?competitive practices, abuse of dominance and anti?competitive mergers and acquisitions.
