|January 2, 2026
The Philippines will take a more active role in advancing global policies for digital trade after it accepted the finalized text of the Agreement on Electronic Commerce under the Geneva-based World Trade Organization (WTO).

Announced during the WTO General Council’s December 2025 meeting, the country officially joined the agreement as its 72nd cosponsor.
In a statement, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said joining the agreement affirms the country’s commitment to shaping global digital trade rules.
It added that this supports the growing call to integrate the agreement into the WTO’s legal framework to foster coherence, predictability, and legitimacy in multilateral digital trade governance.
