In celebration of #EODBMonth2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission joins the celebration with the theme “Achieving Results through Transparency and Accountability (ARTA): Towards a More Productive Bagong Pilipinas.”

The SEC continues to lead reforms that make doing business faster, simpler, and more accessible for every Filipino.

Expanded OneSEC Zuper Easy Registration Online from 33 to 81 industries for one-day company registration

Introduced discounted filing fees for MSMEs covering corporate registration, amendments, and securities registration

Streamlined the 45-day Registration Statement review process to encourage greater capital market participation

Enhanced Shelf Registration, extending validity from 3 years to 5 years

Strengthened PERA Rules by expanding eligible administrators and investment opportunities

Issued further guidelines on exempt transactions to simplify procedures while protecting investors

The SEC also launched the Fourth Wave of Digital Initiatives to further improve public service delivery:

HARBOR – promotes transparency through beneficial ownership disclosure

VERITAS – blockchain-powered secure digital signing and verification

ENDOW – centralized digital repository for efficient document management

AWE – automated workflows for faster and more responsive processes

Reinforcing accountability and efficiency, the SEC also implemented strict timelines and a deemed approved policy for applications, permits, licenses, registrations, and clearances in line with Republic Act No. 11032.

These milestones reflect the SEC’s vision of a modern, transparent, and investor-friendly regulatory environment, helping position the Philippines as a preferred business and investment destination in Southeast Asia.

Through transparency, accountability, and innovation, the SEC remains steadfast in driving inclusive growth, strengthening capital markets, promoting good governance, and protecting the investing public.

Achieving results through transparent governance and accountable service towards a more productive Bagong Pilipinas.
