Since 2012, the Philippines has had a comprehensive law governing personal data privacy – Republic Act No. 10173, or the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. However, its full implementation was not realized until the National Privacy Commission (NPC) was officially constituted in the early part of this year. The Implementing Rules & Regulations (IRR) of the act was promulgated on 24 August, 2016.
