The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) will hold a training course for Philippines competition-related agencies on the Antimonopoly Act and competition policy from April 1 through 12, 2013 in Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe, in cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
In Philippines, several bills to introduce comprehensive competition law have been under deliberation in the Congress. It is said that enhancement of the abilities of officials in competition-related agencies such as the Department of Justice is a key issue.

This training course is a part of a three-year technical cooperation project which the JFTC, in cooperation with JICA, has implemented since 2008 in response to the request from the Government of the Philippines.
