The Senate must be respected as an institution. It is a co-equal branch of government, vested with a vital role in preserving democracy and upholding the rule of law. In a democratic society, the people are called not only to respect public institutions, but also to safeguard their integrity.

However, respect for an institution is strengthened when those who serve within it conduct themselves with honor, accountability, and fidelity to the law. Senators and public officials must first possess self-respect and a deep sense of responsibility, so they may truly deserve the trust and respect reposed upon them by the people.

When leaders themselves tolerate disobedience to the rule of law, it sends a dangerous signal that weakens democratic processes. Worse, when those entrusted to protect the nation disregard the very principles they swore to uphold, it risks division, instability, and the gradual erosion of national unity.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is suspending until December 31, 2026 the imposition of monthly penalties in the late or non-filing of reportorial requirements, as it seeks to reduce transaction costs and promote the ease of doing business.

In its meeting on May 5, the Commission En Banc approved the suspension of penalties imposed for every month of delay for the late or non-filing of reportorial requirements, as provided under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 6, Series of 2024 (MC 6).

“As we celebrate the Ease of Doing Business month this May, the SEC reaffirms its commitment to foster a robust and responsive business environment,” SEC Chairperson Francis Lim said.

“By suspending the compounding monthly penalties, we are providing corporations an opportunity to get back their good standing without the burden of mounting transaction costs, as part of our goal of pushing corporations toward full compliance and sustainable growth,” he added.

The suspension will apply to corporations with pending monitoring applications. Corporations that have received final assessments but have not yet settled payment will be issued updated assessments excluding the per month of delay components.
