The Commission shall provide independent analysis, information and technical support on tariff and nontariff measures affecting Philippine industries and exports for policy guidance to which two entities?

• A. President and Congress
• B. DTI and DOF
• C. NEDA and BSP
• D. DA and DENR

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the Tariff Commission acts as an independent adviser to the top policy-making bodies of the country. Its analysis and technical support on tariff and non-tariff measures are meant to guide decisions at the highest level of government, specifically the President and the Congress. By providing robust data and expert analysis to these two entities, the Commission helps shape national trade policy and legislation that affect Philippine industries and exports.

Other policy actors like the Department of Trade and Industry or the Department of Finance, or macro bodies such as NEDA or the BSP, play important roles in policy, but the mandate here is to furnish policy guidance to the President and Congress. So the two entities receiving this guidance are the President and Congress.
