For investors, equity securities like shares of stock of a corporation and debt
securities like bonds, banknotes, and debentures can be good investing
opportunities to earn profit and increase their wealth. For companies, those
securities can be used to encourage more injection of money or capital into their
businesses. And for our government, the trading of securities in the market
requires regulation that will ensure the protection of everyone who participates
on it. That is why Republic Act No. 8799, known as The Securities Regulation
Code of the Philippines was enacted and approved on July 19, 2000.
