BIZ BUZZ: PCC gets UN seat

The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) has secured a seat at the United Nations (UN) to help shape discussions on global competition and consumer-related matters.

The PCC announced the election of its chair, Michael Aguinaldo, as one of the vice presidents at the 9th United Nations Conference on Competition and Consumer Protection held recently in Geneva, Switzerland.

As part of his responsibility, Aguinaldo moderated two sessions that tackled proposals for implementing cross-border consumer dispute resolution, as well as investigative techniques and digital tools in modern enforcement.
