December 2019 PHILIPPINE COMPETITION BULLETIN Issue 16 | october - december 2019 PHILIPPINE COMPETITION BULLETIN What’s Inside 2 PCC IN 2019: STRONGER COMPETITION ENFORCEMENT FOR A GROWING ECONOMY 3 Supreme Court ADDS DAWN RAIDS TO PCC ARSENAL 6 adb funds PCC project on Capacity Building to Foster Competition 1 PCC IN 2019 STRONGER COMPETITION ENFORCEMENT FOR A GROWING ECONOMY In 2019, the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) sustained its momentum in enforcing the competition law in pursuit of its mandate to prohibit anti-competitive agreements, abuse of market dominance, and anti- competitive mergers and acquisitions. First merger prohibition PCC blocked Universal Robina Corporation’s proposed acquisition of Central Azucarera Don Pedro as it would substantially lessen competition in the market for sugarcane milling services in Southern Luzon. The prohibition of the transaction prevented the creation of a monopoly that could significantly harm the welfare of sugarcane farmers in Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, and Quezon. jan Leniency Program In a bid to strengthen its enforcement mechanisms, PCC launched its leniency program, offering either immunity from suit or reduction of administrative fines to an entity that was or is a participant in price-fixing, bid-rigging, market-allocation, or output-restriction agreements, in exchange for the entity’s voluntary disclosure of information regarding such agreements. Expedited Merger Review Rules In line with government efforts to improve ease of doing business in the country, PCC launched an expedited review process for mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that are less likely to substantially prevent, restrict, or lessen competition in the relevant jun market. Under the expedited process, review of qualified M&A transactions will take only 15 working days, instead of the 30 calendar-day turnaround time for regular Phase 1 review prescribed by the Philippine Competition Act. Exemption from compulsory notification of solicited PPP projects PCC issued the Rules for Solicited Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Projects, under which joint ventures of private entities formed for a solicited PPP project may be jul exempted from compulsory notification. First abuse of dominance case In a landmark development on competition law enforcement in the Philippines, PCC closed its first abuse of dominance case, ordering the termination of the exclusive oct deal between Urban Deca Homes and its in-house internet service provider (ISP) Fiber to Deca Homes in nine projects across the country. Issuance of the Rule on Administrative Search and Inspection The Supreme Court of the Philippines released a resolution approving the Rule on Administrative Search and Inspection under the PCA, effectively adding the conduct nov of dawn raids to the arsenal of tools PCC can use in investigating violations of the country’s antitrust law.

Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.

(MANILA BULLETIN) Also denied by the SC in its November 17 resolution was Akbayan’s plea to intervene in the 2008 Manila Bay environmental protection case that had long become final and executory. In a resolution, the SC said what it has been monitoring is the full implementation of its 2008 decision that directed practically all government agencies, including those in law enforcement, to speed up the cleanup, restoration, and preservation of Manila Bay. The SC even formed the Manila Bay Advisory Committee (MBAC) to monitor and evaluate the reports submitted by the agencies tasked to implement its decision. The committee is now headed by Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta with Associate Justice Rodil V. Zalameda as vice chairperson and Associate Justice Edgardo Delos Santos and Court Administrator Jose Midas P. Marquez as members. A copy of the SC’s resolution denying Akbayan’s motion to intervene and to cite the DENR in contempt was not immediately available.
