History

The Advertising Board of the Philippines (Adboard) was incorporated as the Philippine Board of Advertising on May 3, 1974. It was established after a series of meetings in 1973 by major stakeholders of advertising industry in the Philippines. Its foundation was officially supported by the government's Department of Public Information (DPI). [1] The PBA was renamed as the Adboard in 1989. The Adboard served as the advertising self-regulation body of the Philippines until 2008, when the Ad Standards Council took over the role. [2]

In the 2010s, the Adboard saw some of its founding member organizations filing a leave of absence. [3] The organization underwent an unspecified internal crisis which led to the cancellation of its Advertising Congress scheduled to be hosted in Davao City in 2013 for the first time in its history. [4] [5] [6] The organization ceased operations on August 15, 2014, and publicly announced that it would be dissolving on October 27, 2014. The Adboard officially became defunct in June 2015. The original role of the Adboard has been assumed by multiple advertising bodies. [3]

Role

The Adboard served as the umbrella organization of the Philippines' advertising industry. It oversees the development and practice of advertising in the country through self-regulation. It was guided by a Code of Ethics concepted by its member-organizations in consultation with the Bureau of Standards for Mass Media under the DPI in 1973. Its self-regulatory role is also guided by the Advertising Content Regulation Manual of Procedures and the Standards of Trade Practices and Conduct Manual. [1]

A self-regulatory organization (SRO) is an organization that exercises some degree of regulatory authority over an industry or profession. The regulatory authority could exist in place of government regulation, or applied in addition to government regulation. The ability of an SRO to exercise regulatory authority does not necessarily derive from a grant of authority from the government.

Industry self-regulation is the process whereby members of an industry, trade or sector of the economy monitor their own adherence to legal, ethical, or safety standards, rather than have an outside, independent agency such as a third party entity or governmental regulator monitor and enforce those standards. Self-regulation may ease compliance and ownership of standards, but it can also give rise to conflicts of interest. If any organization, such as a corporation or government bureaucracy, is asked to eliminate unethical behavior within their own group, it may be in their interest in the short run to eliminate the appearance of unethical behavior, rather than the behavior itself, by keeping any ethical breaches hidden, instead of exposing and correcting them. An exception occurs when the ethical breach is already known by the public. In that case, it could be in the group's interest to end the ethical problem to which the public has knowledge, but keep remaining breaches hidden. Another exception would occur in industry sectors with varied membership, such as international brands together with small and medium size companies where the brand owners would have an interest to protect the joint sector reputation by issuing together self-regulation so as to avoid smaller companies with less resources causing damage out of ignorance. Similarly, the reliability of a professional group such as lawyers and journalists could make ethical rules work satisfactorily as a self-regulation if they were a pre-condition for adherence of new members.
