Taking the helm from the Securities Commission (SC) Malaysia, the SEC Philippines continues ASEAN's shared commitment to regional integration, inclusion, sustainability, and cooperative enforcement, in line with the Philippines' ASEAN chairmanship next year.

"As we accept this responsibility, we do so with humility and gratitude, mindful that the ACMF is not the work of one chairman, one country, or one term," SEC Philippines Chairperson Francis Lim said in his acceptance speech.

He noted that, "It is the collective endeavor of a region bound by shared aspirations—prosperity with inclusivity, growth with integrity, and progress with sustainability."
