Reading Artforum’s latest issue, Karen Burns falls through a gap in time – between a sophisticated account of identity and the antiquated myths of architecture.
I’ve just bought your latest issue and want to thank you for a fantastic investigation of identity. The complexity of our ‘post-identity’ world is immediately signalled by the striking Barbara Kruger cover. In fact, it was the cover not the contents that first caught my attention in the local news agency. I bought on impulse.
At the local coffee shop I eagerly read the roundtable on ‘the shifting coordinates of identity’ as seven distinguished art historians, scholars and critics discussed the issues. My brand new copy of your magazine is now heavily underlined.
Artforum’s editor Michelle Kuo asks, ‘Just because we’re talking about it, does that change anything?’ She distinguishes between institutional, educational and discursive discussions and ‘how that’s failed to gain traction in terms of a politics on the ground’. This is an important point about the gap between the complex interrogations of identity categories of race, gender and sexuality conducted within the academy and white box gallery spaces, and the conditions of everyday life that have given birth to the new protest practices of what Emily Roysdon in the same roundtable calls ‘identitarian activist groups like Black Lives Matter’.
Parlour, the group to which I belong, is also an ‘identitarian activist group’: it organises equity in architecture around the category of ‘women’, despite being aware of the many differences between women. Roysdon notes that, even in our ‘newly complex moment’, groups like Black Lives Matter (and I would add Parlour) are still struggling with the ‘same structural oppositions’. This last phrase I think means two things. Firstly, that despite our attempts to complicate any single identity category by examining overlapping kinds of discrimination – an insight enabled by the term ‘intersectionality’ – long-standing dualisms continue to organise and structure identity: black/white, woman/man, Anglo/other. People often find it difficult to notice, examine and then discuss the effects of overlapping identities. Secondly, even fifty years after the emergence of the civil rights movement and the women’s movement, deep-seated structures of discrimination remain. Progress for marginalised groups has been slow and provisional. An insight into how and why these structures remain so resistant to introspection is gained at another point in the roundtable when art historian Huey Copeland observes, that ‘so often, it’s artists marked as different who become the vehicles through which to talk about these issues, as opposed to artists who seem to have a neutral identity, when, in fact, those identities –’ ‘are never neutral’, chimes in Michelle Kuo to finish his sentence.
Imagine my delight and then shock to discover in the same issue, an eight-page obituary of Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid written by six men. The first piece, by Mark Wigley, is a sophisticated formal analysis of her work but, towards the end, he discusses Hadid as a media figure who ‘equal measures of admiration and irritation’, noting ‘the very presence of an Arab woman on the biggest stage, seemed to incite a constant oscillation between admiration and thinly disguised resentment’. Wigley suggests that finally the work itself provoked the most ‘intense reaction – which is the ultimate compliment’. But even his words suggest that buildings and body were never so easily disentangled. As Despina Stratigakos observed in her obituary of Hadid, after Zaha Hadid won the Pritzker Prize (architecture’s Nobel) journalists focussed on her looks and personality. In her recent book Where Are the Women Architects? Stratigakos elaborates on this claim, noting that, ‘not a single journalist failed to mention her gender’. She quotes from some of these pieces: ‘workaholic and single’, a woman of ‘earthier appetites’ with a fondness for ‘lamb’s testicles’ and ‘where is the vibrant monster I’d been promised?’ The language of the journalists helps us refine Wigley’s description of the emotions he calls irritation and resentment. We can call them misogyny and racism.
Zaha Hadid spoke publicly of the confidence instilled by her affluent, cosmopolitan, intelligent and talented family of whom Bernard Tschumi paints a vivid portrait in these pages. Gehry’s remarks perform a familiar refrain in contemporary architecture; acknowledging the disappearance of women from the profession and their under-representation amongst leaders, yet without an accompanying discussion of the structural forces producing absence and loss. Zaha Hadid’s unusual advancement is causally attributed to her own determination.
Slipping between the roundtable on identity and the obituary pages I fell through a crack in time. Zaha Hadid has entered history, but the voice and beliefs of the profession that shimmers in these pages betrays an antiquated investment in mythic narratives. I’m not asking that the lovingly written portraits and heartfelt loss of Zaha Hadid’s friends should have been weighed down by earnest analysis of architecture’s ‘women and minorities’ problem, but one scholarly piece could have been included to address these issues and connect them to Artforum’s fine dissection of the interplay between identity and identification; between how we see our ourselves and how others construct us.
PS. There are a few people you could have asked: Despina Stratigakos, Lori Brown, or Lynne Walker and Susanna Torre (the last two have toiled for forty-five years on these issues), Jane Rendell, Rosa Sheng, or those of us here at Parlour. We’re not short of women who can write about Zaha Hadid and women in architecture, but instead you found six men to memorialise her.

Reuters – “A man deliberately drove into pedestrians, killing four and injuring more than 20, in the center of Australia’s second largest city of Melbourne on Friday, but police said the incident was not terrorism-related.
‘We witnessed about half a dozen people that ricocheted off the car one way or another. I saw one person fly up almost roof level of the car as they got thrown up against one of the retail stores,’ Sharn Baylis, 46, told Reuters by telephone.
‘You could hear the gasping and the screaming from people, then you just started hearing the screams and the crying as it sunk in,’ she said.
Baylis said she rushed across tram tracks and with other bystanders and gave cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) first aid to a badly hurt man who had been run over.
One of the dead was a child. Four children, including a three-month-old baby, were taken to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital …” Read more.

Her tweet below indicates that the police are not so much as investigating the car attack that killed at least three people and wounded many more in Melbourne as they are actively trying to cover up evidence that it was a jihad attack. They don’t want people to think this was jihad, and are working to conceal evidence that it was. What do they think this denial will get them?” Read more.

You learned that a lot of data are being collected and used within the healthcare sector in order to treat patients as well as for medical research purposes. As long as the personal health data can be used to identify a natural person, like Anna, the GDPR applies.
For treating a patient it is important that the right health data is connected to the right patient. This means that in this context, health data cannot be anonymised. Anonymisation means that personal data can no longer identify a natural person. The GDPR however also mentions another safeguard: pseudonymisation.
Article 4 (5) GDPR explains what is meant by pseudonymisation in light of the GDPR. It means that the processing of personal data cannot be linked to a natural person on its own, addition information is needed to identify a person. It is important that the additional information is kept separately and that technical and organisational measures have been taken to ensure that this information cannot be attributed to a natural person. This means that pseudonymised data can be used to treat a patient and helps keep the data safe against unauthorised access.
For research purposes it is not always necessary to attribute personal data to a natural person, meaning that more drastic measures can be taken. This is why research data can, most of the time, be anonymised. We heard Anna’s research nurse explain that her health data is anonymised before it is transferred to another research institution.
The difference between pseudonymisation and anonymisation is that pseudonymised personal data can still, by using addition information, be used to identify a natural person. Anonymised data can never be used to identify a natural person, not even with addition information. The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that anonymised data does not need to comply with the GDPR, considering that the risks to the fundamental rights and freedoms of a natural person no longer exist.
When anonymising data it is however important to make sure that it is truly anonymised. With modern technologies, a lot of information is available and combining different data sets, makes it sometimes possible to re-identify a natural person in an anonymised data set. In 2015 Latanya Sweeney published an article which proved that she was able to re-identify anonymised datasets which she bought from a hospital, by comparing the dataset to newspaper stories in the same year. By using this technique she was able to identify 43% of the people in the anonymised dataset. This research showed that it is almost impossible to really anonymise data. If data is not anonymised, the risks to the fundamental rights and freedoms of a natural person are still present, and the GDPR applies.
If you have not done so already, you can read Latanya Sweeney’s entire article called ‘Only You, Your Doctor, and Many Others May Know’ from Technology Science, via this link.

Blizzard revealed the latest Overwatch animated short at Gamescom, focused on Mei, the ice-wielding climatologist. Titled as ‘Rise and Shine’, this is the seventh animated short the game has received.
This 10 minute long animated video gives the players a better look at Mei’s backstory, who had been frozen cryogenically while doing research in Antarctica before returning to the Overwatch organization. Even though the game doesn’t have a story mode, Blizzard does an impeccable job of providing the heroes with a rich and sometimes emotional background in the form of these animated shorts, and the quality is top-notch, easily comparable to something made by a studio like Pixar. There’s also other material that gives you a glimpse into the Overwatch lore, like comics, character interactions and even Easter eggs found across the maps.

President's Patter for 11th April 2015 - Norsemen F.C.
I am glad this season is drawing to a close as I am running out of new and original things to say.
No game for the first team this week just two games for the Res XI and 3rd XI which both ended in victories by 4-1 and 5-2 respectively.
The Res XI complete their programme on Tuesday evening under floodlights at Hanwell Town FC when they play their only contenders for the title NUFC Oilers, a point will clinch the championship of the SAL Intermediate 2nd Division.
The 3rd XI still have an outside chance of promotion if they win their last game next Saturday, if they do not go up they will be unlucky to miss out with the number of points they have achieved, well done to Danny and his team.
This is the end of my second season as President, at the beginning I set a three year target of getting all our sides back into the first division's of their respective leagues. This became more difficult when the 1st XI were relegated last season so it cannot be achieved by the end of next season, but we have the Reserves promoted the 3rd & 4th XIs narrowly missing out and our lower teams well placed.
Given a well organised and committed close season and with the right skippers we are in a good position to continue to progress towards our target.

The New England Revolution announced a new sponsorship partnership making Sovereign | Santander the official bank of the New England Revolution. The team is the bank’s first American sports partnership. The partnership will include the somewhat unique component of an official tagline defining the relationship between the team and bank. According to the press release, also includes day-of-game sponsorships; on-site game day programs; community clinics run by the Revolution Academy and Revs players; naming rights for the team’s official “Man of the Match” award; on-field advertising during Revolution matches; away game trips; as well as television broadcast, radio broadcast, print and digital inventory.” Pele is the official soccer voice of the bank and he was on hand as part of the announcement. It is noteworthy that the quotes distributed as part of the press release from the Revs perspective came from Robert Kraft and not one of the team front office representatives.
One final note. Hamas is enforcing a media boycott of Barcelona after the team game a complimentary ticket to Gilad Schalit, the Israeli soldier that was held captive for a number of years by militants in the Gaza Strip.

"In the summer of 1998, I started to take photos of the Japanese decorated truck, DECOTORA. More I take photos and more communicate with the drivers, I noticed that most of them have conscientious personality. Why the truck drivers who are so devoted to their jobs, so earnest that even look mismatch with their flashy trucks, decorating own trucks so excessively?
They can’y keep drving without pride. I think DECOTORA is an expression of each driver’s pride."

text: The Kapalagulu and Musongati intrusions are differentiated mafic–ultramafic intrusions, more than 1 km in stratigraphic thickness and several 10 s of km2 in size. They form part of the Kabanga–Musongati belt of intrusions in western Tanzania and Burundi. The intrusions of the Kabanga–Musongati belt were emplaced at ca 1.4 Ga into pelitic sediments of the Burundi and Karagwe–Ankolean Supergroups that accumulated during an early rifting phase of the Kibaran orogeny. The parental magmas to the intrusions were of picritic composition (ca 15% MgO) that assimilated variable amounts of sulfidic sedimentary rocks during emplacement. Modeling suggests that the Musongati magma assimilated ca. 5% of sedimentary material, whereas the Kapalagulu magma assimilated ca. 15% of sediment. Contamination caused enrichment of the magma and the cumulates in incompatible trace elements, the development of negative Nb–Ta–Ti anomalies, and crustal sulfur isotopic signatures (δ34S = + 4.5 to + 20). At Kapalagulu, contamination of the parent magma led to the formation of basal olivine melanorite cumulates. In the less contaminated Musongati intrusion dunites and harzburgites formed at the base. Both intrusions are prospective for magmatic Ni and PGE deposits. This is indicated by empirical observations, notably the presence of important Ni sulfide ores at Kabanga and reef-type PGE concentrations at Musongati and Kapalagulu. It is also supported by theoretical considerations, namely the high-magnesian composition of the parental magmas and the abundance of sulfides in the host sedimentary rocks. Weathering of the ultramafic rocks resulted in a thick lateritic crust that contains up to > 4 ppm PGE and, at Musongati, hosts one the world's largest Ni-laterite deposits.

55-56 Oldsmobile Copper/Brass 100% New Made in USA radiator. Replaces OEM # 3133684. May also replace others such as 3130604, 3131179. This is a correct appearing and fitting replacement radiator with regular serpentine fin design. The core size is 20" tall x 23.5" wide. Some of the attached pictures show the radiator prior to painting so that the details are more visible.
This radiator does not have a transmission cooler. Top neck is 1.5" diameter & lower neck is 1 3/4" diameter.
We stock the radiator in both regular and high efficiency core designs. The regular core has the tubes on 9/16" centers and the high efficiency has the tubes on 3/8" centers. The high efficiency will cool about 18% to 20% better than the regular core because of the denser design and more surface area.
We strongly suggest using the high efficiency core design if you are in a warmer climate.

Some advaitins claim that Nirguna Brahman spoke through Krishna, but is this in accordance with advaitin theory that Brahman is without any characteristic, is speaking not considered a characteristic, or an act of an independent individual? According to advaita.
According to Advaita, there is only Brahman, and nothing more. Everything you see, the world, is just Brahman.
The scriture [atharva veda] says this world is Brahman. All is Brahman. Therefore, all this world is nothing but Brahman. What you impute to a thing [superimpose] is not separate from that to which you impute [the substratum]. The basis of all is Brahman. Therefore, what you call the world is not the world, but Brahman.
So, Sri Krishna and everyone else are Brahman. When Sri Krishna speaks is only Brahman who speaks. But also when a little ant die, it is just Brahman who die.
And further, whatsoever is the seed of all existences that am I, O Arjuna; nor is there anything, moving or unmoving that can exist without Me.
When you see Brahman as a little insect with 6 legs, etc, you call it "ant Brahman" (usually without the Brahman part, just ant ;) ). When you can put qualities to something, that is saguna. And as Brahman is everything, everything in manifestation is saguna Brahman.
But, in order to realize that, we pay special attention to the "sattva-saguna-Brahman part", which are sages, jivanmuktas, avataras, devas, srutis, shanti, cit, etc. And we usually call saguna Brahman only to that part (and leave ant, and everything else, out of the term, only to help understanding and realization).
When you think about Brahman as without upadhis only (without maya), without any quality that you can think of, that kind of sunya (void, which actually is not void because is full of Brahman), that you call it nirguna Brahman. So, nirguna Brahman cannot speak, because if He does, then we call it saguna Brahman.
But, as Brahman alone is, He is the only one who speaks, and listen and does everything.
For him the act of offering is Brahman, the oblation is Brahman. By Brahman is it offered into the fire of Brahman. Brahman is that which is to be attained by him who realizes Brahman in his works.

Demi Radeva has a passion for International Healthcare System improvement and Cross-Cultural communication. She finds fulfillment in empowering others to become their best self through mentorship and is actively engaged in causes that support Economic Empowerment, Education, Diversity and Inclusion. Demi has experience as a healthcare consultant at Fortune 500 organizations, government entities, and international organizations.
Demi, welcome onboard the team as our first Digital Health Today Ambassador!
Thank you so much! I am grateful to be a part of this team and to be given the opportunity to represent the DigitalHealthToday brand. My background is in international business and finance from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. This is where I was able to build a foundation for a career in business that would take me internationally. As a student I was able to gain experience in corporate and investment finance and after graduation I started working in healthcare management consulting. This is when I fell in love with healthcare. To further my knowledge and understanding, I decided to get my Masters in International Health Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Currently, I’m focusing on my degree and on volunteering in the local community in London. Most recently, i was able to moderate a conversation around challenging the mental health stigma in the workplace on behalf of LSE Health Society and in partnership with ImpactHubKX in London.
I became fascinated with digital health during my experience at Optum. I took a tour of the Innovation Center as an employee and was amazed at how much digital technology can help us with the whole spectrum of healthcare from resolving population health issues to personalized medicine. Inside Optum there are various ways to get involved as an innovator. For example, one of my favorite events is the annual Innovation Competition. You can come to it with nothing else but an idea and then form a team with people throughout the company and see your idea through.
The Twin Cities are a hotbed for digital health innovation. Minnesota is the home of UnitedHealth, Medtronic, Boston Scientific, St. Jude (now Abbott), Mayo Clinic, and other world-class medical centers. The Twin Cities has one of the richest health care communities in the country. Consequently, I joined various communities such as Healthcare.mn, ImpactHubMSP, and attended various MeetUps which had a digital health focus.
London, is a vibrant city full of digital health startups and entrepreneurship communities. It has been a whirlwind trying to attend the various digital health events that happen on a weekly basis. However, I’ve enjoyed it very much, especially, meeting others with similar interests as mine. The key is to focus and to build deeper relationships where your interests lie. In terms of focus – I decided to take an eHealth course as part of my Masters program as an elective. That way I am able to learn more in-depth and from an academic perspective about digital health. There are plenty of opportunities to please a curious mind in London, or in any city for that matter. Whatever you call your home, you can build your own community. Be present. Be focused. Be open-minded.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may soon need another name.
Trump-appointed acting CFPB director Mick Mulvaney is working so furiously to dismantle the agency’s regulatory oversight and enforcement that a better moniker might be the Corporate Financial Protection Bureau.
The latest sign of this came May 9, when Mulvaney sent a bureau-wide memo announcing his decision to shutter the CFPB office that investigates potential student loan abuses and fraud.
It’s hard to overstate the importance of the CFPB in helping student borrowers, who have been routinely scammed and misled. Over the past nine years, the agency’s Office for Students and Young Consumers recovered $750 million for students defrauded by lenders and con artists.
The student lending office also helped more than 60,000 students from every state get answers about breakdowns in their loan process. It sued predatory loan processors and for-profit colleges, including Navient and ITT Tech. It stamped out illegal loan servicing practices at the country’s largest banks, including Citibank, Discover and Wells Fargo.
The CFPB did not respond to questions about the decision by publication time, but did reply after the story was published (see update below).
Mulvaney has stated he is moving the responsibilities of the Office for Students and Young Consumers under the broad umbrella of “financial education.” He has also announced a more sweeping reorganization of the bureau, including the creation of an Office of Cost-Benefit Analysis.
Lenders and conservative media, however, have been unusually quiet about Mulvaney's memo. Meanwhile, the closure of the student lending office sparked outrage among Democrats and consumer groups.
“Once again, Mick Mulvaney has proven how little he thinks of the Consumer Bureau, the fine men and women who work there and the people they serve,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in a press release on May 9.
Waters also lambasted Mulvaney’s reshuffling of the agency.
Also slamming the decision is Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who called for Mulvaney’s resignation from both the CFPB and his job as White House budget director over Mulvaney's recent “pay to play” remarks to lobbyists and bankers.
Other lawmakers criticizing Mulvaney’s decision include Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Oregon).
The Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, the Center for Responsible Lending, the Center for American Progress and other groups have also condemned the move to eliminate the consumer watchdog.
Update: Several hours after the story was published, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau press office responded to the questions I had sent earlier. Responding to whether the CFPB intended to keep the same number of investigators and continue to pursue the Navient lawsuit, the agency stated, "We'll decline to comment on pending litigation."

update: several hours after the story was published, the consumer financial protection bureau press office responded to the questions i had sent earlier. responding to whether the cfpb intended to keep the same number of investigators and continue to pursue the navient lawsuit, the agency stated, "we'll decline to comment on pending litigation."

For politicians, compromise can be a surprisingly hard word. So it is today over the Brexit endgame. The talk is still of crashing out, no deals and blood red lines. But this is paradoxical. Politics, like life itself, is mostly built on compromises. That is why the Brexit sherpas are, in fact, still talking in Brussels and London. Even on Brexit, it remains likelier than not that the practical human instinct to compromise will eventually have its way.
This is not, though, the certainty it ought logically to be. Brexit is not simply another political process to be settled through compromise. To many, it is also a series of absolutes. One is that Britain’s vote to leave the European Union was not just decisive but the immutable will of an entire people that cannot be questioned – or compromised. A second, never properly understood in Westminster, is that the EU sees leaving as a treaty process governed by rules that cannot be bent.
Yet, as the writer Fintan O’Toole argued in a lecture this week, Brexit is not in practice monolithic. Indeed, Brexit metamorphosed at the precise moment that the leave vote was declared in 2016. With that declaration, Brexit moved from being a reactionary vision of restored British national destiny to being a practical and complicated task for politicians to sort out.
More than two years on, it still is. For the fanatical leavers, Brexit remains what O’Toole calls an epic dream. That is one reason why people such as Boris Johnson refuse to accept ownership of the Brexit detail. For passionate remainers, it is the exact opposite, an epic nightmare against which only a second referendum, negating the collective national sin of the first, will suffice. Somewhere in the middle, however, stretching from deep inside the leave vote across the Brexit divide to somewhere well into remain, there are the many who now simply want a compromise they can live with.
Theresa May is the flawed and awkward tribune of these pragmatists. It is a major part of her failure that she has never properly embraced this inescapable role. After 2016, she could and should have reached out to remainers by pledging to secure as moderate a Brexit as possible. Instead, she threw in her lot with the fundamentalist leavers in speeches to the 2016 Tory conference and at Lancaster House. This led remainers – and, just as important, the EU27 – to conclude that she wanted nothing more than a vestigial free trade deal and a minimum of regulatory cooperation.
Since her failed general election, and in a characteristically last-minute, crabwise manner, May has sometimes crept towards a more centrist position. But she has done it in the least politically intelligent way possible. Instead of trying to use Brexit to reimagine modern Britain in a fairer way, as, at his best, her former adviser Nick Timothy urged her to do, she used it to indulge post-imperial fantasists on the right of the Tory party and the press, and to embrace forms of Ulster unionism that are rooted in the 1920s not the 2020s.
May should have embraced some of the language and ideas of “soft” Brexit from the start. By doing so, especially after her June 2017 election catastrophe,she could have laid the ground for the necessary later cross-party understandings on the Brexit deal. She could, in particular, have tried to win round the SNP by pledging to devolve EU competences to Holyrood. And she could have tried to reach agreements with Labour on the customs union, Northern Ireland and employment rules. Instead, she allowed herself to become the hostage of incompetent and lazy rightwingers in her own party and the puppet of a sectarian DUP.
Now, however, the Brexit process is approaching the crunch. Or rather, two umbilically-connected crunches. Crunch one will be over an agreement with the EU. Because the EU, not Britain, holds most of the cards, this agreement will either be softer than Chequers, in which case the Tory right will reject it, or harder, in which case the left will say no. It will not be the cherry-picking, bespoke deal May has promoted for the last two years.
Crunch two will be getting the deal through parliament. This cannot be done by relying on Conservatives alone, since there is no Tory majority and because a significant minority of Tory MPs will oppose the deal, whatever form it takes. Even if the DUP backs May, the chances are that she will need opposition support. That is why she should have opened out to Labour, the SNP and the Liberal Democrats during the past year. And why she still should.
Most of the media attention about the parliamentary arithmetic has focused so far on how Tory backbenchers will vote. Yet, when and if this second crunch point is reached, pro-Europeans on the opposition benches will face a crucial dilemma too. Do they vote for May’s deal in order to avoid no deal? Or do they vote with Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson to crash out? There will be immense party pressure on these MPs to vote down May’s deal. But there will be significant public pressure in the other direction too, demanding that opposition MPs give May’s deal a chance, avert a cliff-edge crash, and allow the country the opportunity to move beyond Brexit.
The power of this dilemma will clearly depend on the content of the deal itself. For many remainers, voting for any form of Brexit will be a step too far in any circumstances. For more pragmatic remainers, though, the temptation to back a deal, depending on the softness of its content and the degree of compromise made by May, and which has also been agreed by the EU27, will be a serious option. Faced with a choice between an imperfect deal that retained significant connections to Europe, and no deal with Europe at all, many pro-Europeans may decide it is time for them to compromise too, because, like it or not, they have a dog in this fight.

From babies to seniors…over 4.6 million Canadians live with arthritis, a chronic disease that leaves a devastating impact on their physical, mental and emotional well-being. As one of the leading causes of long-term disability in Canada, arthritis costs the national economy $33 billion a year.
THEN: Until the late 1940s, people with arthritis had no support. Some were bedridden for years. Some had to wait so long for treatment that in the end joint damage was too severe and irreversible. And, there were no funds dedicated solely on research.
NOW: Major advances in treatment, interventions (e.g. artificial joints) and medications mean that thousands of Canadians with arthritis are leading better lives.
Every day is a challenge for Dan, and his daughters Laura and Tracy – they wonder if they will be able to brush their hair, or get dressed in the morning.

For nearly three years now since its establishment in 2016, the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) has sustained its momentum in promoting consumer welfare and competitive processes under the game-changing Philippine Competition Act (PCA).
The transitory period provided by the PCA ended on August 8, 2017, two years after the law’s enactment. Affected parties were given this two-year grace period so that they could adjust their business practices to fully comply with the law. Considering the lag between policy issuance and firm uptake, we can reasonably say that the year 2018 was truly the first full year of the new regime of Philippine competition policy.
The past year also proved to be challenging for the Philippine economy. Prices of basic goods rose at a faster clip and major players in the global market enacted disruptive protectionist measures stemming from populist sentiments within their domestic spheres.
Thus, the country’s transition to a new competition regime came at a time when Filipino consumers and businesses were experiencing pressing challenges. Nonetheless, the PCC forged ahead steadily to fulfill its mandate. As we welcome the new year, let me share with you the key accomplishments of the commission in 2018 in our core functions of competition enforcement, merger review and competition advocacy.
First, cognizant of how spikes in prices of necessities disproportionately harm the poor, the commission opened and continues its investigation of the rice, energy and fuel markets. It is unfair and unacceptable that a few unscrupulous businesses and groups should benefit at the expense of millions who are left with increasingly meager budgets for their basic needs. In 2018, we opened four new investigations, so that there are now seven ongoing full administrative investigations. To aid enforcement efforts, the commission executed memorandums of agreement with the Department of Justice-Office for Competition and the Office of the Ombudsman. These agreements aim to strengthen enforcement action through complementation of resources and sharing of institutional capacities.
Second, the commission continued to review mergers and acquisitions that have a potentially high impact on consumers. In 2018, we received 39 M&A transactions with a total value of P438 billion, of which 33 were approved.
The commission has exercised its power to subject M&As to commitments that seek to remedy anticompetitive effects expected to arise from such transactions. For example, we subjected Grab’s acquisition of Uber to stringent pricing and quality standards to address competition issues arising from the merger of the country’s two biggest ride-hailing apps.
Moreover, we have been studying the voluntary commitments proposed by concerned parties in two other M&A transactions: one in the sugarcane industry and the other in the passenger and cargo shipping services. When a transaction is expected to harm market competition, the commission is ready to act and implement measures to correct for outcomes that are disadvantageous to both consumers and the competitive process.
Third, we directed the commission’s competition advocacy efforts in 2018 at sectors, such as telecommunications, that need significant reform through the injection of a healthy market competition. To ensure that the principles of competition are considered in the selection process for a third player in the telecommunications market, the commission provided inputs to the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the National Telecommunications Commission. We, likewise, provided comments on complementary legislative measures such as mobile number portability, open access in data transmission, spectrum management reform and the common tower policy. These pro-competition reforms are expected to benefit Filipino consumers who may soon enjoy improved service at lower costs.
The commission has undertaken several issue papers on priority sectors, such as rice, pharmaceuticals, poultry and livestock, manufacturing, and transportation and logistics. These studies assist the PCC to identify risks to consumers and the competitive process that may require our enforcement or advocacy intervention. The commission also successfully organized numerous advocacy and capacity-building activities to educate consumers, businesses and public institutions, keeping in mind that fostering a culture of competition is a building block of a strong competition regime.
In summary, consistent with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022, the PCC has allocated its resources toward enforcement, merger review and advocacy activities in sectors with the highest impact on consumers. Having set up our institutional architecture within a short time, I am proud to say that the commission has transitioned quickly by accumulating experience and enhancing competencies in its core functions.
As the country’s economy is expected to continue on a high-growth trajectory, the commission firmly believes that the benefits of economic growth must be felt by all through a fairer distribution of incomes and opportunities. Our commitment to Filipino consumers is this: we will staunchly carry out PCC’s mandate of protecting and promoting a free and fair competition landscape. This is because consumers are at the heart of the Philippine competition policy. Our track record in 2018 attests to this.
I look forward to what will surely be an exciting year ahead for competition!
