The Philippine Competition Commission is a quasi-judicial body whose mandate is to enforce and implement the provisions of the Philippine Competition Act (Republic Act No. 10667),[1][2][3] which was signed into law by President Benigno S. Aquino III on July 21, 2015.[2][4]

It is intended to ensure efficient market competition and to level the playing field among businesses engaged in trade, industry, and all commercial economic activities.[2]

In January 2016, Arsenio Balisacan resigned from his post as Philippine Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and Director General of the National Economic and Development Authority to lead the Philippine Competition Commission.[2]
