August 11, 2023

SyCipLaw Partner Rose Marie M. King-Dominguez authored the latest country guide of Thomson Reuters' Practical Law covering an overview of data protection law in the Philippines. It also discusses obligations for private-sector data controllers in the Philippines to notify, register with, or obtain authorization from the data protection authority under the Philippines' comprehensive data protection law before processing personal data. The latest Q&A tool also discusses any requirements for data controllers to appoint a data protection officer (DPO) and any applicable notification or registration obligations relating to DPO appointments.

Associates Leo Francis A. Abot and Patrick Edward L. Balisong assisted in the preparation of the country guide.
