Philippine Data Privacy Act compliance in Iloilo City at a glance
In Iloilo City the Data Privacy Act shows up in lecture halls, wards and technohubs. Schools and universities, which the city government counts among its primary industries, keep student and staff records; hospitals keep patient files; and teams in the technohubs process personal data for clients abroad. The law itself is national, enforced by the National Privacy Commission, and explained on the Philippines page. What differs locally is the work: mapping personal data, designating a data protection officer, writing a privacy manual, assessing the impact of new projects, contracting with processors, training staff and rehearsing breach response. Many Iloilo firms then add ISO/IEC 27701. Sterling supports readiness from its Manila office with Effivity.
