The rise in technological developments in the 21st century has led to the proliferation of digital trade. Particularly, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to businesses and sectors relying heavily on digital trade to continue their businesses. This includes the continuous movement of data across borders. Currently, intemational trade law and the agreements forming the World Trade Organization (WTO) do not explicitly regulate digital trade and its different aspects, including cross-border data flows and data localization. While there have been attempts to fit digital trade inthe current scheme of WTO law, these are not entirely conclusive. As a result, countries have chosen to enter into Free TradeAgreements (FTAs) to regulate their relationships. However, thismay result in inconsistencies between a country’s domestic data regulations and its obligations under intemational trade law. This Article examines the current state of intemational trade law and cross-border data flows and compares the data-related obligations under existing WTO Agreements and the FTAs into which the Philippines has entered. It shows that the current data regulations of the Philippines are consistent with its intemational obligations, and even assuming they are not, the exceptions under these agreements are sufficient for compliance.
