As a consequence of agreements made at the recent ASEAN Conference held in Manila, this Forum is an offshoot of that Regional Meet.  Held at the Makati Shangri-La on 1-2 Feb. 2018, this Forum attracted top lawyers in Competition Law to discuss cultural and legal understanding of what constitutes unfair competition in regulating business dominance in an industry. Host at this Meet is National Competition Commision’s Chairman Arsenio Balisacan and Presidential Consultant on SMEs Jose “Joey” Concepcion III. STC was fortunate to renew ties with the former Energy Sec. & former NEDA Asst. Sec. General Atty. Raphael Lotilla who is  now based in Asean countries working on various laws affecting these nations like laws on trade integration and facilitation.  STC was also fortunate to spot some youngsters who arrived individually and whom at first he did not recognize but upon deduction and intuition, made them out to be all part of the team El Gamma Penumbra> performers for the international audience at the Special Dinner.
