Overview
When Republic Act No. 11232 or the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines (the “RCC”) became effective on 23 February 2019, among the significant amendments introduced by such legislation was to encourage corporations to adopt arbitration as a means of resolving intra-corporate disputes.

To implement such relevant provisions, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released on June 23, 2021 a draft of the Guidelines on Arbitration of Intra-Corporate Disputes for Corporations (“Draft Guidelines”) for public comments.
