PCC to conduct market studies of priority sectors

The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) will hire experts to conduct market studies on the country’s nine priority sectors this year to find out their concerns and how to address them, and also examine guidelines on implementing its whistleblowing program better.

In a media briefing on Wednesday, PCC Commissioner Stella Quimbo identified these sectors, which she said “tend to have a big impact on consumers” and “promote growth,” as rice, meat and poultry, pharmaceuticals, land transportation, air transportation, agricultural credit, digital commerce, retail, and telecommunications.
