Ten years after the implementation of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) ('the Act'), and six years after the creation of the National Privacy Commission ('NPC') through the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 10173 ('IRRs'), the ambiguity of the Act on the treatment of foreign persons personal data has been clarified to some extent.
