The Philippines, through the National Privacy Commission (NPC), is taking a proactive stance in fostering international cooperation on data privacy and protection through its participation in the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) Forum and Global Cooperation Arrangement for Privacy Enforcement (Global CAPE).
“One of NPC’s missions is to promote global standards for data privacy and protection. Our participation in these international initiatives underscores this commitment,” said NPC commissioner John Henry Naga.
“The NPC welcomes these advancements in international data privacy cooperation and look forward to a continued and sustainable collaboration with our data privacy counterparts,” he said.
The Philippines joined the Global CAPE in March 2024. The multilateral agreement acts as a framework for cooperation and information sharing among privacy enforcement authorities (PEAs) regarding cross-border data protection and enforcement.
